    With simple interest, your interest rate payments are added into your monthly payments, but the interest doesn’t compound. For example, a five-year loan of $1,000 with simple interest of 5 ...

  4. Compound interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest

    The force of interest is less than the annual effective interest rate, but more than the annual effective discount rate. It is the reciprocal of the e -folding time. A way of modeling the force of inflation is with Stoodley's formula: δ t = p + s 1 + r s e s t {\displaystyle \delta _{t}=p+{s \over {1+rse^{st}}}} where p , r and s are estimated.

  5. Coupon collector's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector's_problem

    A simple proof by martingales is in the next section. Donald J. Newman and Lawrence Shepp gave a generalization of the coupon collector's problem when m copies of each coupon need to be collected. Let T m be the first time m copies of each coupon are collected. They showed that the expectation in this case satisfies:

  6. Nominal interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_interest_rate

    The term should not be confused with simple interest (as opposed to compound interest) which is not compounded. The effective interest rate is always calculated as if compounded annually. The effective rate is calculated in the following way, where r is the effective rate, i the nominal rate (as a decimal, e.g. 12% = 0.12), and n the number of ...

    Graphs of probabilities of getting the best candidate (red circles) from n applications, and k/n (blue crosses) where k is the sample size. The secretary problem demonstrates a scenario involving optimal stopping theory [1] [2] that is studied extensively in the fields of applied probability, statistics, and decision theory.

  8. Effective interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_interest_rate

    The effective interest rate (EIR), effective annual interest rate, annual equivalent rate (AER) or simply effective rate is the percentage of interest on a loan or financial product if compound interest accumulates in periods different than a year. [1] It is the compound interest payable annually in arrears, based on the nominal interest rate ...

  9. Utility maximization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_maximization_problem

    Finding (,) is the utility maximization problem. If u is continuous and no commodities are free of charge, then x ( p , I ) {\displaystyle x(p,I)} exists, [ 4 ] but it is not necessarily unique. If the preferences of the consumer are complete, transitive and strictly convex then the demand of the consumer contains a unique maximiser for all ...
