Unit 7: Financial Mathematics

Perpetuity, Bonds, EMI, CAGR & Depreciation

1. Perpetuity and Sinking Funds

Perpetuity (Present Value) $$PV = \frac{R}{i}$$
(R = Payment, i = Interest rate)
Sinking Fund (Periodic Payment) $$R = \frac{A \cdot i}{(1+i)^n – 1}$$
(A = Future Amount required)

2. Valuation of Bonds

Value ($$V$$) = PV of Coupons + PV of Redemption Value

Bond Valuation Formula $$V = R \left[ \frac{1 – (1+i)^{-n}}{i} \right] + F(1+i)^{-n}$$
Variables $$R$$ = Periodic Coupon Payment
$$F$$ = Face/Redemption Value
$$i$$ = Yield to Maturity (Market Rate)
$$n$$ = Periods to maturity

3. EMI Calculation Methods

EMI Calculation Formula

Flat-Rate Method $$\text{EMI} = \frac{P + I}{n} = \frac{P + (P \times r \times t)}{n}$$
Reducing Balance Method $$\text{EMI} = P \times \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n – 1}$$
(Here $$i$$ is monthly rate, $$n$$ is months)

4. CAGR & Linear Depreciation

CAGR Formula $$\text{CAGR} = \left( \frac{\text{End Value}}{\text{Begin Value}} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}} – 1$$
Linear Depreciation (Annual) $$D = \frac{C – S}{n}$$
Book Value (at year k) $$BV_k = C – (D \times k)$$
