39、hen you save money in a bank account, an interest-bearing checking account or a certificate of deposit -CD, youre lending that bank your money. The bank uses that money - in fact, borrowing money from you and paying you interest for the right to use your money to lend to someone else. Of course, the
40、 bank then charges that borrower an even higher interest rate to more than the interest its paying the lender. Interest is computed as a percentage of the amount of the loan (贷款).Here are examples to compute interest.You may see a $10,000 CD with a 5-percent annual interest rate, which is yearly，but
41、 right next to it is the annual percentage yield (收益) number and its higher.The difference between rate and yield is determined by how frequently interest is paid, and how it is paid.If you have a CD with a 5-percent nominal (名义上的) rate, then interest is calculated by multiplying 5 percent by the am
