We will examine a typical problem that illustrates the application of Compound Interest.
Formula:
A = total amount, P = the principal or the sum of money that is either deposited or borrowed, r = the annual interest rate expressed in decimal form, n = the number of compounding periods each year, and t = the time measured in years.
Example 1: If you invest Rs 7,000 in an account that offers a 5% annual interest rate compounded every two months, what will be the total amount in the account after 6 years? What will be the total interest accrued over 6 years? According to the compound interest formula, what is the annual interest amount and the effective interest rate, PCPA?
Solution:
Given:
Principal amount P = 7000, interest rate r = 0.05, n = 2 (because interest is computed every two months), and t = 6. In this case, we can utilize a logarithm to perform these calculations. Please follow the subsequent steps closely.
