5.8 Mathematical Models in Personal Income

EQ: Can you pay the taxes from your paycheck?

Notes: How to read a tax table.  p260 Example 2 from text and Table 5-11.
Don’t forget that the phrase “the amount over” implies subtraction.

5.8 Mathematical Models in Personal Income

EQ: Can you calculate your paycheck for a sales job?

Notes:
Straight Commission: Pay = (Commission Rate) * Sales
Base Salary plus Commission: Pay = Base Pay + (Commission Rate) * Sales
Base Salary plus Commission over a Minimum Sales Amount:
Pay = Base Pay + (Commission Rate) * (Sales Amount more than the Minimum)

Prep work: Textbook: p264(1-8, 11-14, 21)

5.2 Mathematical Models in Banking

EQ: What does it mean to compound continuously?

Notes: Continuous Compound Interest formula:  A = P e^(r * t)
A = Maturity (total amount P + I)   P = Principal    r = rate in decimal form
e = Euler’s number (2.718281828…)   t = time (years)

Prep work: Textbook: p225(27-30)  p216(9-10, 19-22)  p267(4-7, 9-13)

5.2 Mathematical Models in Banking

EQ: Is compound interest good or bad?

Notes: Compound Interest formula:  M = P (1 + r/n)^(n*t)
M = Maturity (total amount P + I)   P = Principal    r = rate in decimal form
n = # of compoundings/year   t = time (years)
