This document outlines key formulas for calculating compound interest with different conversion periods such as annually, semi-annually, quarterly, and monthly. It defines the periodic rate as the interest rate per conversion period, which is calculated as the annual interest rate divided by the number of conversion periods in a year. Formulas provided calculate the future/compound amount, present value, annual interest rate, and time period, based on inputs like principal, interest rate, number of conversion periods, and future/compound amount.
