Final project for the WMDD20 class at Langara
The investment calculator enables users to compare between three famous fixed income investment bonds in Brazil: LCI, LCA and CDB. While the first and second are exempt from payment of income taxes, the CDB is taxed based on the duration of the investment, in a decreasing rate (see table below for more details). The return of those investments are commonly a percentage of an public index called CDI. Given the percentage of LCI and LCA bonds are different of the CDB, some math is required to find the equivalence of them.
Calculate the equivalence between LCI, LCA and CDB bonds Forecast the CDI index based on futures contracts signed at stock exchange
The project will have a website with a form, so the user can inform the type of product, duration and % of return of the products he/she wants to compare. A javascript script will calculate the equivalence of the bonds. Once calculated, the page will be display which product has the higher return %.
Through the below URL, try to forecast the CDI index for the future.
