8. A bank has introduced a product where you deposit Rs 50,000 today (Year 0) and receive Rs. 10,000 per annum commencing from the end of the tenth year (Year 10). If the embedded interest rate is 5 % per annum, how many annual payments of Rs 10,000 each (Commencing from the end of the tenth year) can the bank afford to pay?

9. its really simple(wink), you borrow 10k at 4% interest, then you put it into a stable investment that pays 7% . Then return the borrowed money, pay the interest and your left with 3% in profit or $300. then create an LLC, pitch your success to investors who will loan you a billion dollars and make 30mil from the same process. repeat if necessary.
10. Muy buena explicacion, exelente
11. $10,000.00 invested for 3 years is that all? I am better of learning how to trade. $500.00 a year is nothing. I think I could sell plates and make at least $500.00 in one day. I have seen people make 800 to 1000.00 in one day.
12. HEY FUCKHEADS!!! WHY IS IT TAKING YOU OVER 40 MINUTES TO EXECUTE MY TRADE?!?!?! YOU JUST COST ME OVER 500.00 WITH YOUR FAGGOT BULLSHIT, ASSHOLES!! I'M PRETTY SURE YOU HOLD OUT JUST TO FUCK OVER YOUR CLIENTELE! FUCK YOU HARD!!!
13. Abysmal. I understand compound interest and I get confused watching this!
14. what bank has 5% interest on their savings? mines like freaking .004% quarterly
15. this was like... the most helpful video i have watched in a while. my math professor doesn't explain shit so i had no idea what was the difference between compound interest and simple interest
16. This is very true so is the possibility of finding a vehicle that offers 5% interest or more to offset inflation. I personally own 2 separate accounts that have this formula working for me. 1 has a 15% cap but a .75% floor and the other a 12% cap and 0%. Both are doing very well and I'm not exposed to market risk or taxes
17. I like dis type of music
18. kinda helped but i'm still gonna fail this test tomorrow
19. Simple but powerful
