The two primary reasons for having interest are as follows :
- the opportunity to invest money, and
- the desire to spend it.
Money has an opportunity cost. Which we are investing money for a future period we always sacrifice the present consumption. Further, we always anticipate that the value of any investment after a planned holding period to be higher than the original investment. Unless the concept of interest is applied, it may not be possible to realise the objective.
