Financial Mathematics
Financial Mathematics focuses on money-related calculations such as simple interest, compound interest, present value, future value, and annuities. It is widely used in banking and finance exams.
Fundamental Principles
Simple Interest
SI = (P × R × T) / 100.
Compound Interest
CI = P(1 + R/100)^T − P.
Present Value
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n.
Future Value
FV = PV(1 + r)^n.
Essential Formulation Tips
- Memorize key formulas (SI, CI, PV, FV).
- Convert percentages into decimals.
- Use approximation for faster solving.
- Practice real-world financial problems.
Shortcut Execution Techniques
- CI for 2 years: CI = P(2R + R²/100)/100.
- Use shortcut for small interest rates.
- Compare options to estimate answers.
- Use ratio method where applicable.
