Course objectives

Students will apply basic mathematical methods and procedures necessary for different applications in the economy and the rationally decide on the way of lending. They will learn to use the Linear Program Solver program for optimization and formulas in Excel in order to calculate the final / initial value of post numeration/pre numeration payments, compile a repayment table for loans by equal annuity methods, equal repayment quotas and agreed annuities, and loan conversion.

Course outcomes

Name of the set of learning outcomes: Basic economic accounts Level: 5
  • Calculate and explain issues related to percentage (more 100, less 100) and pro mile accounts.
  • Calculate and explain issues related to ratios, proportions, and proportions, rule three, account decomposition, mix account, and account balance.
  Name of the set of learning outcomes: Simple and complex interest account Level: 5
  • Specify the definition of arithmetic and geometric series.
  • Determine the similarities and differences between simple and complex interest rates, decursive and anticipated interest rate calculations, and conforming and relative interest rates.
  • Decide whether it’s a final or initial numbering or post numeration of periodic payments (payments).
  • Use calculators and / or computers (using MS Excel) to solve problems in the specified area and explain the gained results.
  Name of the set of learning outcomes: Loan calculations Level: 6
  • Identify the similarities and differences between several loan repayment methods (equal annuities, equal repayment quotas, and agreed annuities).
  • Assess which of the methods is more favorable for a borrower depending on his/her financial capabilities.
  • Comment and compile the repayment schedule of the loan (for simpler examples using calculators, for more complicated with a computer (in MS Excel)).
  • Determine and explain the difference between interest rates when applying the relative or conforming interest rate.
  • Calculate the intercalary interest and the amount of the loan annuity in the three possible ways of paying interest rates (during the grace, beginning of loan repayment, attributing interest to the principal sum).
  • Estimate and calculate the loan conversion with the given parameters.
  • Understand the consequences of changing loan repayment terms.
