3 Examples

1 Find the compound interest on Rs. 8000 at 4% per annum for 2 years, compounded annually.

632.80
650.00
652.80
672.80

Solution:
Answer: C

Explanation:
Principal Amount (P) = 8000
Interest Rate (r) = 4 %
Period (t) = 2 Years
Compounding Frequency (n) = 1

$= (8000 \times (1 + \frac{4}{100})^{2}) - 8000$
$= 652.80$

2 Find the compound interest on Rs. 8695 at 4% per annum for 3 years, compounded monthly.

Rs. 1106.63
Rs. 1126.63
Rs. 1206.63
Rs. 1236.63

Solution: Answer: A Explanation: Principal Amount (P) = 8695 Interest Rate (r) = 4 % Period (t) = 3 Years Compounding Frequency (n) = 12

= (8695 \times (1 + \frac{4}{100})^{2 × 12}) - 8695

= 1106.63

3 Calculate the future value of Rs. 4,000 invested at 7% for 5 years

Rs. 5500.21
Rs. 5510.00
Rs. 5600.00
Rs. 5610.21

Solution: Answer: D Explanation: Principal Amount (P) = 4000 Interest Rate (r) = 7 % Period (t) = 5 Years Compounding Frequency (n) = 1

= (4000 \times (1 + \frac{7}{100})^{5})

= 5610.21
