- 6. If the effective interest rate is i per period and you invest b dollars at time 0, then the value at time n is b(1 + i)”. For example, if at time 0 you invest $100 at an effective interest rate of 6% per year, then the value at time 1 is $100(1+0.06) = $106. dollars. At time 2, the value will be $100 (1 + 0.06)² = $112.36. Similarly, the present value (value at time 0) of $100 received 2 years from now would be $100(1+0.06)-²≈ $88.99. Sometimes it's convenient to define d = 1/(1 + i) so that we would have $100(1+i)n = $100d". If the interest rate per year is i compounded semiannually, then the effective annual interest rate is (¹ + 2)²³ - 1₁ 1. For example, if the interest rate is 6% per year compounded semiannually, the effective annual interest rate is 1 + .06 2 2 - 1 ≈ 6.09%.
