the simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4 1/2% P. a is rs. 5400.what will be the compound interest on that sum at the same rate for the same time period, if the interest is compounded annually. About the author Vivian
Answer: Step-by-step explanation: Simple interest = Principal x time x rate ⇒ Rs.5400 = (Principal x 2 x 4 1/2) /100 ⇒ Rs.5400 =( Principal x 2 x 9/2 )/100 ⇒Rs.5400 = (Principal x9) /100 ⇒ Rs. 5400 x 100 = Principal x 9 ⇒ Rs.540000 = Principal x 9 ⇒ Rs.540000 / 9 = Principal ⇒ Principal = Rs.60,000 Compound interest = P [ 1 + R/100 ] power n = 60,000 [ 1 + (9/2) /100] power 2 = 60,000 [ 1 + 9/200]² = 60,000 [ 200/200 + 9/200]² = 60,000 [ 209 / 200]² = 60,000 x (209 / 200) x (209/ 200) = (60,000 x 209 x 209 ) / 200 x 200 = 6 x 209 x 209 / 4 = 3 x 209 x209 / 2 = 65521.5 Reply
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple interest = Principal x time x rate
⇒ Rs.5400 = (Principal x 2 x 4 1/2) /100
⇒ Rs.5400 =( Principal x 2 x 9/2 )/100
⇒Rs.5400 = (Principal x9) /100
⇒ Rs. 5400 x 100 = Principal x 9
⇒ Rs.540000 = Principal x 9
⇒ Rs.540000 / 9 = Principal
⇒ Principal = Rs.60,000
Compound interest = P [ 1 + R/100 ] power n
= 60,000 [ 1 + (9/2) /100] power 2
= 60,000 [ 1 + 9/200]²
= 60,000 [ 200/200 + 9/200]²
= 60,000 [ 209 / 200]²
= 60,000 x (209 / 200) x (209/ 200)
= (60,000 x 209 x 209 ) / 200 x 200
= 6 x 209 x 209 / 4
= 3 x 209 x209 / 2
= 65521.5
