Understanding Simple Interest
- - Simple interest = Principal x Rate x Time (I = P x R x T)
- - Interest is calculated only on the original principal
- - Common in short-term loans and treasury bills
- - For longer periods, compound interest typically provides better returns
- - Day count conventions: 365 (standard) vs 360 (money market, bonds)
- - Simple interest is easier to calculate but grows linearly, not exponentially
