What will the compound interest on rupees 40000 at 8% per annum when interest is compounded half yearly?

Solution:

A deposit, compounded at annual rate of interest (r), at the end of n years is given by the formula:

A = P(1 + r/100)n

Where P = Principal (deposit)

A = Amount at the end of time period

r = annual rate of interest

n = time period

In the given problem:

P = 48000

r = 8%/2 = 4% (the interest is compounded half yearly)

n = 2 (there are two half yearly periods in a year)

A = 48000(1 + 4/100)2

= 48000(1.04)2

= 48000(1.0816)

= Rs. 51916.80

Compound Interest = A - P = 51916.80 - 48000 = Rs. 3916.80

Try This: Find the compound interest on Rs 48,000 for one years at 8% per annum when compounded yearly.

P = Rs. 48000

r = 8%

n = 1

A = 48000(1 + 8/100)1

= Rs. 51840

Compound Interest = Rs.51840 - Rs. 48000

= Rs. 3840

Given :

Principle = Rs 40000 

Rate of interest = 6% 

Total interest = Rs 4944 

Formula used :

P[(1 + (r/100)]n = amount (where P = principle, r = rate of interest and n = number of years)

Calculations :

Total amount = Principle + interest = 40000 + 4944

⇒ 44944 

Now according to the question

40000[(1 + (6/100)]n = 44944

(106/100)n = 44944/40000

(53/50)n = 2809/2500

n = 2 

∴ Period of time is 2 years
