Compound Interest Questions

FACTS  AND  FORMULAE  FOR  COMPOUND  INTEREST  QUESTIONS

 

 

Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years.

I.

1.  When interest is compound Annually:

Amount =P1+R100n

2.  When interest is compounded Half-yearly:

Amount = P1+(R2)1002n

3.  When interest is compounded Quarterly:

Amount = P1+R41004n

 

II.

1.  When interest is compounded Annually but time is in fraction, say 325 years.

Amount = P1+R1003×1+25R100

2.  When Rates are different for different years, say R1%, R2%, R3% for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively.

Then, Amount = P1+R11001+R21001+R3100

 

III.  Present worth of Rs. x due n years hence is given by:

Present Worth = x1+R100n

Q:

A sum of Rs 20000 becomes Rs 32000 in 12 years, when invested in a scheme of simple interest. If the same sum is invested in a scheme of compound interest with same yearly interest rate (compounding of interest is done yearly), then what will be the amount (in Rs) after 2 years?
