Chapter 16: Financing a Company’s Financial Needs
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this chapter the student should be able to:
Explain the difference between simple interest and compound interest and explain how
they work.
Convert an annual percentage rate to an annual percentage yield and an annual percentage
yield to an annual percentage rate.
Instructional Hints
Many of my students have mortgages, so I like to relate these principles to mortgages
because it really hits home for them. The principles of mortgages easily transfer to long
term loans.
Activities
Prepare an amortization schedule for a 30-year mortgage in class. Compare the amount of
interest paid and the principal reduction during the first, second, fifth, tenth, twentieth,
