<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Question:I&#8217;ve recently inherited some money which I am keeping in a high interest savings account. <a href="http://business-accountants-brisbane.com.au" title="business accountants brisbane">Business Accountants Brisbane</a>  I am young with only a HECS debts and no significant assets.<br />

  Given that my HECS debt is interest free and only affected by inflation. Should I pay off my HECs debt straight away or invest the money elsewhere?  Answer:The debt is not actually interest free ? the effective interest rate is a rate of inflation which is currently 2% or 3%.?  For example, if you were paying no tax, you would be better off to take a tax-free 4% than pay it off HECS and get 2%.  However, if you were in the 32.5% bracket paying the debt may be the best option.
<div class="quote">&#8220;By Jonathan Barratt On gold, &#8220;We have no positions as it still looks weak&#8221; was where we left the market last week and as we bounce around psychological support at US1600 we are questioning whether or not our bullish call goes on hold, or is this just the dip we have been waiting for to load up?? Also, another factor is that money will seek out high returns and as a recovery picks up those holding gold will seek greater returns in other sectors, as gold has no yield.&#8221;

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trong <a href="http://nguyenvanphu.blogspot.com/2011/09/ung-tinh-ai.html" target="_blank">một entry ngắn</a>, nhà báo Nguyễn Vạn Phú phê rất xác đáng lối viết ẩu trong bài “Tiểu xảo lách lãi suất” (<a href="http://nld.com.vn/20110920095046363p0c1014/tieu-xao-lach-lai-suat.htm" target="_blank"><em>Người lao động, </em>21/9/2011</a>).   Vì blog NVP không có chỗ cho để còm, nên mình ngứa nghề viết thêm về cách tính lãi suất thực tế.<!--more--></p>
<p>Khi ta gởi hay vay tiền, tổ chức tài chính sẽ báo lãi suất hàng năm (annual percentage rate, APR).   Nhưng APR chỉ là con số trên giấy tờ.  Mức lãi ta thực sự hưởng (nếu gởi tiền) hay thực trả (nếu đi vay) gọi là effective annual rate (EAR), tùy thuộc vào tần suất tính lãi (compounding frequency / interval, <em>n</em>).  Công thức như sau: <strong>EAR = (1 + APR/n)<sup>n</sup> &#8211; 1</strong><em>.</em></p>
<p>Nguyễn Vạn Phú nói rất chính xác: &#8220;<em>Với lãi suất huy động 13,8%/năm kỳ hạn 1 ngày, tức là tính lãi suất kép, cứ sau mỗi ngày ghép tiền lãi vào vốn thì lãi suất thật sau 365 ngày chỉ là 14,79%.</em>&#8220;  Tính như vầy:  EAR = (1 + 0,138/365)<sup>365</sup> &#8211; 1 = 0,147946 = 14,7946%.  Cũng có thể dùng máy tính tài chính; ví dụ như với máy Texas Instruments BA II Plus, xài chức năng đổi lãi suất (ICONV), với NOM = 13.8, C/Y = 365, rồi tính EFF = 14.7946.</p>
<p>Như vậy, với một APR nhất định, tần suất tính lãi càng nhiều thì EAR càng cao, nhưng cũng sẽ đụng tới một mức trần nào đó.  Nếu lãi được tính liên tục không ngừng nghỉ, <strong>EAR = e<sup>APR</sup> &#8211; 1</strong>, trong đó <em>e </em>là hằng số (= 2,7182818&#8230;).  Với APR = 13,8%, lãi suất thực tế tối đa sẽ là EAR = 2,7182818<sup>0,138</sup> &#8211; 1 = 14,7976%, không thể nào &#8220;<em>lên tới 15%-16%/năm</em>&#8221; như phóng viên viết.</p>
<p>Nguyễn Vạn Phú phê phóng viên tính đại.  Nếu vậy, phóng viên chịu khó học thêm, nhờ người tính giùm, hoặc &#8230; đọc blog <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Nhưng nếu như phóng viên trích thuật lời của ngân hàng thì nguy hiểm hơn.  Ai mà dám gởi tiền vô một ngân hàng không biết tính lãi suất thực tế.</p>
<p>Nói thêm một chút.  Ngân hàng cũng có thể vận dụng cách tính ngược từ EAR sang APR cho mục đích tiếp thị, với <strong>APR = n(1 + EAR)<sup>1/n</sup> &#8211; 1</strong>.  Ví dụ, nếu ngân hàng cho vay và muốn hưởng 18%/năm thì không cần báo giá đó, nếu tính lãi nhiều hơn một lần mỗi năm.  Nếu tính lãi hàng tuần, lãi suất niêm yết chỉ là: APR = 52(1 + 0,18)<sup>1/52</sup> &#8211; 1 = 16,58%. (Trên máy tính, với EFF = 18, và C/Y = 52, tính NOM = 16.5778).  Thoạt nhìn có vẻ rẻ hơn tới 1,42 điểm phần trăm!</p>
