• There are two types of interest rates:

  Simple interest	Compound interest
  \(A=P\left(1+in\right)\)	\(A=P{\left(1+i\right)}^{n}\)

  Where:

  \begin{align*} A& = \text{ accumulated amount} \\ P& = \text{ principal amount} \\ i & = \text{ interest written as decimal} \\ n & = \text{ number of years} \end{align*}

• Hire purchase loan repayments are calculated using the simple interest formula on the cash price minus the deposit. Monthly repayments are calculated by dividing the accumulated amount by the number of months for the repayment.
