Yearly compound interest
Q. Find the compound interest of Rs. 2000 at 20% rate of interest compounded annually for 3 years.
Given: Principle (P)= Rs. 2000 Rate (R)= 20% Time (T)= 3yrs Compound interest (C.I) = ?
Soln:
(C.I) = P[(1+R/100)T - 1]
= 2000 [ (1+ 20/100)3 - 1)]
= 2000 [ (1+ 0.2)3 - 1]
= 2000 [(1.2)3 - 1]
= 2000 [1.728 -1]
= 2000 * 0.728
= 1456
Therefore, C.I for 3 years is Rs.1456.
