Companies Over the Years
An investor invested a sum of ₹ 12 lakh in company P in 2008. The total amount received after one year was reinvested in the same company for one more year. The total appreciation received by the investor on his investment was
Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 2009) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it
Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs

= Rs. [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs
