ANNUAL INTEREST.

310. Annual Interest is simple interest on the principal and on each year's interest remaining unpaid, but so computed as not to increase the original principal.

It is allowed in the case of promissory notes and other contracts which contain the words, "with interest payable annually," or "with compound interest." In such cases, the interest is not compounded beyond the second year.

EXAMPLES.

1. Find the annual interest and amount of $8000 for 5 yr., at 6% per annum.

OPERATION.

Int. of $8000 for 1 yr. at 6% = $480.

$8000 for 5 yr. at 6% = $2400. $480 for 10 yr. at 6% = $288. $2400+$288 = $2688, Annual int. $8000+ $2688 $10688, Amount.

draws interest for 4 yr.; that for the second year, for 3 yr.; that for the third year, for 2 yr.; and that for the fourth year, for 1 yr., the sum of which is equal to the interest of $480 for 4 yr. + 3 yr.+ 2 yr. + 1 yr. 10 yr.; and the interest of $480 at 6% for 10 yr. is $288. Hence the total amount of interest is $2400+ $288, or $2688, and the amount is $ 10688.

RULE.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

Compute the interest on the principal for the given time and rate, to which add the interest on each year's interest for the time it has remained unpaid.

To obtain the latter, when the interest has remained unpaid for a number of years, multiply the interest for one year by the product of the number of years and half that number diminished by one.

Thus, if the time is 9 yr., the interest for 1 yr. should be multiplied by 9 × (91) 2, or 9 × 436. Since the interest for the first year draws 8 years' interest, that for the second year 7 years' interest, etc., the sum of the series 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 is 36.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS OR INDORSEMENTS.

311. A Partial Payment is payment in part of a note, bond, or other obligation.

When the amount of a payment is written on the back of the obligation, it becomes a receipt, and is called an Indorsement.

1. Promissory Notes are written promises to pay certain sums of money on demand, or at specified times, as "30 days after date," 2 months after date, etc. They constitute one of the most important forms of commercial paper. Other forms, as checks,

drafts, etc., will be treated of under other heads.

2. The Maker or Drawer of the note is the person who draws it up and signs it.

3. The Payee is the person to whom or to whose order the money is paid.

4. An Indorser is a person who signs his name on the back of the note. By such an indorsement he makes himself responsible for the payment of the note.

5. The Face of a note is the sum of money made payable by the note.

6. A Negotiable Note is one made payable to bearer, or to any person's order. When so made it can be sold or transferred.

EXAMPLES.
