Calculation of Compound Interest
Given
- Principal amount = P
- Time period = t
- Rate of interest = r
Calculating Simple Interest
Simple interest is calculated using the formula:
Simple Interest = (P x t x r) / 100
Simple Interest Calculation Example
- P = 1000
- t = 3 years
- r = 5%
- Simple Interest = (1000 x 3 x 5) / 100 = 150
Calculating Compound Interest
Compound interest is calculated using the formula:
Compound Interest = P(1 + r/100)^t - P
Compound Interest Calculation Example
- P = 1000
- t = 3 years
- r = 5%
- Compound Interest = 1000(1 + 5/100)^3 - 1000 = 157.63
Calculating Compound Interest for 2 Years
To calculate the compound interest for 2 years, we can use the same formula:
Compound Interest = P(1 + r/100)^t - P
Compound Interest Calculation Example for 2 Years
- P = ? (Not given in the question)
- t = 2 years
- r = 5%
- Compound Interest = ?
Since the principal amount is not given, we cannot calculate the compound interest for 2 years.
