Compound Interest Year 11

What is Compound interest? To compound a problem is to add to more trouble on top of the original difficulty Compound interestr is a similar process through whivch the principle is recalculated each interest period from the previous principle and the interest gained. It is a cumulatibve effect

Compound interest example Note: I= Prt 100 A = P + I YearPrincipleInterestAmount

Compound vs. Simple Interest For example: P = 250 I = 10% T = 10yrs

Compound vs Simple Interest Return Question: Is it best for your Bank Interest to be calculated by the month or the year? What does the decision depend upon?

Compound Interest

Amount of interest Amount of the Interest I = A - P Interest = Principal - Amount

An example A loan of $1200 is taken out at a compound interest rate of 14.5% per annum. How much is in the account after 3 year? What was earnt A = P x (1 +r/100) t A = 1200 x ( /100) 3 A = 1200 x Amount = $ I = A – P I = – 1200 = $601.35

Calculating the interest & time To find the interest rate per annum, r%, given the values of P, I and t: r = 100 x I Pt To find the number of years or term of an investment, t years, given the values of P, I and r: t = 100 x I Pr

Example Find the rate of simple interest if a principal of $6500 increases to $8375 in 5 years. r = 100 x I Pt I = 8375 – 6500 = 1875 r = 100 x 1875= 5.77% 6500 x 5 Remember A = P + I → I = A - P To find time you simply use the second equation

Finding the Principal To find the principal if you have interest amount (I), interest rate (r) and time (t) in years To find the principal if you have amount (A), interest rate (r) and time (t) in years

Example If the saving interest rate is 6.25% and Rex wishes to buy a car at $5600 in three years, how much does he need to invest? P = A / 1 + (It/100) P = 5600/ (1 + (6.25 x 3)/100) P = $4716
