1

Core ideas and definitions

  • Cash price is the full amount paid at the time of purchase for outright buying.
  • Cash down payment is the partial amount paid at the beginning under an instalment plan.
  • Instalment is the amount paid at regular intervals toward the remaining price.

Simple interest method for monthly instalments

  • Use this method for short-term monthly instalment plans when the total time is less than a year.
  • First find the total amount paid under the instalment plan.
  • Then find the interest paid by subtracting the cash price.
3

Compound interest method for instalment buying

  • Use compound interest for annual instalments over long periods.
  • Use compound interest also for semi-annual or quarterly instalments, even if the total period is short.
  • For annual instalments, the present value of the kth instalment is x(100/(100+R))^k.
