The denominator of a Rule of 78s loan is the sum of the integers between 1 and n, inclusive, where n is the number of payments. For a twelve-month loan, the sum of numbers from 1 to 12 is 78 (1 + 2 + 3 + . . . +12 = 78). For a 24-month loan, the denominator is 300. The sum of the numbers from 1 to n is given by the equation n * (n+1) / 2.

Consumption cannot be negative: c t ≥ 0, [2] [3] while π t is unrestricted (that is borrowing or shorting stocks is allowed). Investment opportunities are assumed constant, that is r , μ , σ are known and constant, in this (1969) version of the model, although Merton allowed them to change in his intertemporal CAPM (1973).
