Compound Interest
Learning Objectives
1. Differences between simple and compound interest.
2. Compute Compound interest with time in years or months.
Definition
1. Interest can be calculated in two ways: simple interest or
compound interest.
2. Simple interest is calculated on the principal (the original loan).
3. compound interest is calculated on the principal and the
accumulated interests of previous periods
𝑛
𝐼 =𝑃 1+𝑅 −1
Where
I = the compound interest
P = the principal
R = the annual compound interest rate written as a decimal
n = the number of compounding periods.
EXAMPLE (1)
Find the simple and the compound interests on $10000 at 5% rate for 3
years.
Solution
Simple interest: 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑅𝑇
5
𝐼 = 10000 × × 3 = $1500
100
Compound interest: 𝐼 = 𝑃 1+𝑅 𝑛 −1
𝐼 = 10000 1 + 0.05 3 − 1 =$1576.25
EXAMPLE (2)
Find the simple and the compound interests on $800 at 7% rate for 6
years.
Solution
Simple interest: 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑅𝑇
7
𝐼 = 800 × × 6 = $336
100
Compound interest: 𝐼 = 𝑃 1+𝑅 𝑛 −1
𝐼 = 800 1 + 0.07 6 − 1 =$400.58
