She wanted to know of a way to teach her children about the principle of compounding interest. The next day, I heard from another reader expressing her personal embarrassment that she did not know what it means for interest to compound. Those questions reminded me of a story I learned from a colleague, Alvin Danenberg. His story takes the financial theory of compound- ing interest and turns it into an eas- ily understood principle: In 1492, Christopher Columbus decided he was going to save for retirement. He had one penny, and he knew he could earn 6 percent simple interest every year on his money. He put the penny in his left pocket and placed the interest ($0.01 x 6 percent = $0.0006) into his right pocket for safekeeping. He never added anything to his origi- nal penny in his left pocket. Yet the interest accumulated year after year in his right pocket. Chris is a very healthy guy. He lives today in 2010, 518 years later. He finally has decided to retire. He takes his one penny from his left pocket and adds it to the simple interest in his right pocket. Do you know how much Mr. Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Jose Alfredo Magana Vasquez, 38, of Corning was arrested Sunday evening during a traffic stop on Corning Road at Black Butte Road. His 10- year-old daughter and 14- year-old niece were in the vehicle with him. Deputies contacted Vasquez and saw signs of alcohol intoxica- tion. He was given and failed a series of field sobriety tests. He was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on charges of child endanger- ment and driving under the influence of alcohol. Bail was set at $10,000. • Two Tehama County men were arrested Sunday morning in the area of San Mateo Avenue in Gerber after leaving a party. Deputies contacted the occupants of a blue cadil- lac that was leaving a party in the Gerber area and saw the driver, Manuel Ledale Rollins, Jr., 20, of Red Bluff exhibiting signs of alcohol intoxication. Rollins failed a series of field sobriety tests and was arrested and booked into jail for driving under the influence of alcohol. Bail was set at $2,500. The passenger, Alex Russel, 20, of Tehama, was searched and a plastic bag of several morphine pills was found on his person. Russel did not have a pre- scription for the pills. He was arrested and booked on the charges of posses- sion and transportation of a controlled substance. Bail was set at $35,000. • Jaron Lee Carnahan, 27, of Red Bluff was arrested Friday evening at the Sportsman Lodge. He was booked on the charges of transportation or selling and possession of a con- Columbus has? Well, the interest in his right pocket added up to only 31 cents (518 years x $0.0006 = $0.3108). Along with his original penny from his left pocket, he has about 32 cents on which to retire. That's not very good planning. What could Chris have done differently? Let's assume Chris was more astute about investing because he knew about compound- ing interest. Instead of putting the interest in his right pocket, he put it into his left pocket with the original penny. This added his earned interest to the principal. Over the years, he would earn the same 6 percent interest on the orig- inal penny plus the accumulated interest in his left pocket. At the end of year one, he could have had $0.0106 in his left pocket (the original penny plus the 6 per- cent interest). At the end of year two, he would have had $0.011236 ($0.0106 plus 6 percent interest). At the end of year three, he would have had $0.01191 ($0.011236 trolled substance, failure to appear on a felony and for- feiture of bail. Bail was set at $108,874. • Laurel Elaine Holochwost, 24, of Red Bluff was arrested Friday on Walnut Street. She was booked on the charge of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. Bail was set at $25,000. • Michael Ryan Davis, 24, of Red Bluff was arrested Saturday on Southridge Drive. He was booked into jail on the charges of false imprison- ment and inflicting corpo- ral injury on a spouse or cohabitant. Bail was set at $35,000. • Kelly Brian McVay II, 26, of Red Bluff was arrested Saturday on Southridge Drive. He was booked on the charge of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. Bail was set at $25,000. Crashes • A 71-year-old woman driving in the parking lot of the Adobe Road Chevron, 2370 Main Street, accidentally hit a part of the building with her vehicle. The building had minor damage and no one was injured. DUI • Officers responded to Main Street near Duncan Road at 1:36 a.m. Sunday to reports of a vehicle hit- ting a PG&E utility pole. Upon arrival, officers found a Chevrolet Camaro with major front end dam- age and no driver. Officers located a checkbook with Benjamin Aragon’s name and address printed in it and were able to contact Aragon, who lived nearby. Through an investigation, it was confirmed that Aragon was driving the vehicle when it crashed and he had consumed alco- holic beverages prior to the collision. Aragon, who was not injured, was arrested for driving under the influence. • Don Hart, 51, of Los Molinos was taken to St. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate plus 6 percent interest). This is called "compounding" interest. It could have continued for Chris until today, 518 years later. How much would Christopher have accumulated for retirement? After 518 years of com- pounding interest at 6 per- cent, that original penny would have earned Chris $128,362,511,906.97. That $128 billion is a lot of pocket change! None of us will live that long, but all of us will have more than one penny to invest. Though returns on most savings accounts are far less than 6 percent right now, the principle of com- pounding interest applies at any rate, and higher rates will return eventually.
