Compound Interest
Category : 8th Class
If the interest is calculated at the end of certain fixed period and principal for the next is the amount after adding the interest of the previous period to the principal.
Formula for Calculating Compound Interest
\[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}\]
\[C.I.=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}-1 \right]\]
Thus, \[\mathbf{C}\mathbf{.I}\mathbf{.=A-P}\]
Where,
P = Principal Amount
r = Interest Rate
n = Number of times the amount is compounded
A = Amount after time t
C.I. = Compound interest.

If m, n, p are the three sums of money such that n is the simple interest on m and p is the simple interest on n for the same time period and at the same rate of interest. The relation among m, n, p is given by:
(a) \[{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}=\text{mp}\]
(b) \[{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}=\text{np}\]
(c) \[{{p}^{\text{2}}}\text{=}\,\text{nm}\]
(d) \[\text{p}=\text{nm}\]
(e) None of these
Answer: (a)
If the simple interest on a certain sum of money is one - ninth of the principal and rate of interest is equal to the time for which interest is found. Find the rate of interest on that sum of money.

(c) 5.5 %
(d) 7.25 %
(e) None of these
Answer: (b)
When the Interest is Compounded Annually but Rates are Different for Different Years
Let principal = Rs. P, time = 2 years and let the rate of interest be m% per annum (p.a.) during the first year and n% p. a. during the \[{{\text{2}}^{\text{nd}}}\]years
Then the formula of amount after 2 years. \[=P\left( 1+\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{100} \right)\left( 1+\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{100} \right)\]
This formula may similarly be extended for any number of years
When the Interest is Compounded Annually but Time is a Fraction
Let time is 2 years and 4 month, then
Amount \[=\left[ P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{2}}\left( 1+\frac{\frac{1}{3}\times R}{100} \right) \right]\]
Compounded Half Yearly
Let principal = p, Rate = r%. Time = n years.
If compounded half yearly then, rate = \[\frac{r}{2}\]% per half year, time = 2n
Then amount \[=P\times {{\left( 1+\frac{r}{2\times 100} \right)}^{2n}}\]
Compound Interest = Amount - Principal
Compounded Quarterly
Let principal = p. Rate = r% per annum, Time = n years.
If compounded quarterly then, rate = \[\frac{r}{4}\]% per quarter, time = 4n
Then amount \[A=P\times {{\left( 1+\frac{r}{2\times 100} \right)}^{4n}}\]
Compound Interest = Amount - Principal
