Question 181

What would be the compound interest obtained on an amount of z 8,800 at the rate of 16 p.c.p.a. after 2 years ?

The sum becomes $$ 8800 \times (1+r)^{2} $$ after 2 years where r is the rate of interest (here 0.16)

Compound interest = $$ 8800 \times (1+r)^{2} $$ - 8800

= $$ 8800 \times (r^{2} + 2r) $$

= $$8800 \times 0.3456$$ ( by substituting r = 0.16)

= 3041.28
