The theory of compound interest handles this problem by assuming that the interest earned is automatically reinvested. With compound interest the total investment of principal and interest earned to date is kept invested at all times. A constant rate of compound interest implies a constant effective rate of interest, and, moreover, that .

1.2 Simple Interest – let the interest amountearned each year on an investment of X be constant where the annual rate of interest is i: AV t X(1 ti), where (1 ti) is a linear function – simple interest has the property that interest is NOT reinvested to earn additional interest

The price of an interest rate derivative depends on the level of the interest rate and its expected change in the future. To price an interest rate derivative, a common approach is to de ne the future evolution of the interest rates .
