Saving in a Bank
• Simple Interest– Yr 1 – add $8– Yr 2 – add $8– Yr 3 – add $8– Yr 4 – add $8– Yr 5 – add $8– Yr 6 – add $8– Yr 7 – add $8– Yr 8 – add $8– Yr 9 – add $8
• Compound Interest– Yr 1 – add $8– Yr 2 – add $9– Yr 3 – add $9– Yr 4 – add $10– Yr 5 – add $11– Yr 6 – add $12– Yr 7 – add $12– Yr 8 – add $14– Yr 9 – add $15
![Page 8: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What’s the Difference?
• What did you notice about the accumulation of simple interest?– It increased by the same amount ($8) each year.
• What did you notice about the accumulation of compound interest?– It increased by more each year.– The $100 initially saved double after 9 years.
![Page 9: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Simple Interest Equation
• Simple interest =
Principal (amount of initial savings) X
Rate (of interest being paid on saving) X
Time (in years)
![Page 10: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Want To Double Your Money?• Rule of 72
– 72 divided by the Rate (of interest being paid on savings) = the number of years it will take for savings to double when interest is allowed to compound
• For example:– 72 divided by 8% = 9 years
• At the end of nine years, the initial savings of $100 will have increased to $200 – double the amount of initial savings
![Page 11: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In Review
• What is savings?– Savings is disposable income minus consumption.
• What is the simple interest – Initial savings are $1000; Interest rate is 5%; Time is 5 years?– $1,000 X 5% X 5 years = $250
• At an interest rate of 3 percent, how long would it take to double your initial savings?– 72 divided by 3 = 24 years

Mutual Fund Rules• The price per share changes every day
and depends on the value of the investments.
• The value of the investments depends on the performance of the assets chosen by the fund manager.

investment.– Lower loads are better for investors.

Three Rules To SavingLong Term
• Start early– Give money time to
grow
• Buy and hold– Keep your money
invested
• Diversify– Don’t put all your eggs
in one basket
![Page 132: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)

The Magic of Compounding• When you save, you earn interest.
• When you take the interest out and spend it, it stops growing.
• But if you leave the interest in your account so it can grow, you start to earn interest on the interest you earned previously.
• Interest on interest is money you didn’t work for. It is money your money makes for you!
• Over time, interest on interest can increase your total savings greatly.
![Page 134: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Buy and Hold
• If you buy and sell on the ups and downs, you may lose money.
• But if you hold on for the long term, the ups are greater than the downs.
![Page 135: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)

Alternative Forms of Saving and Investing
• Savings accounts– Provide a small but
steady return– They involve virtually no
risk
• Certificates of deposit (CD’s)– Safe– Pay little more in
interest than regular savings accounts
![Page 137: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
Alternative Forms of Saving and Investing
• Bonds– Involve more risk– Return is higher than
savings accounts and CD’s
• Stocks– Higher-risk
investments– Offer the potential of
higher returns
![Page 138: Economics & The Stock Market Game](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56814d71550346895dbac850/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)

• It is hard even for experienced investors to find surprises in the market.

Stock-Selection Criteria Used By Fundamental Stock Analysts
• Annual Revenue or Sales– Sales over the past three
to five years point to how well a company is doing in its industry

Consider This Situation
• It is midnight and your car breaks down on Interstate 94. You are far from home. You use
your cell phone to call an emergency auto-repair service. The service representative
tells you that a service visit will cost $50, plus the cost of any parts and labor that are
necessary to get you driving again. You have $7.57 in your pocket. Should you use a credit
card?
