Whats the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a sum of Rs 9000 for 2 years at 5% per?

Compound Interest: The future value (FV) of an investment of present value (PV) dollars earning interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year for a period of t years is:

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mtor

FV = PV(1 + i)n

where i = r/m is the interest per compounding period and n = mt is the number of compounding periods.

One may solve for the present value PV to obtain:

PV = FV/(1 + r/m)mt

Numerical Example: For 4-year investment of $20,000 earning 8.5% per year, with interest re-invested each month, the future value is

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt   = 20,000(1 + 0.085/12)(12)(4)   = $28,065.30

Notice that the interest earned is $28,065.30 - $20,000 = $8,065.30 -- considerably more than the corresponding simple interest.

Effective Interest Rate: If money is invested at an annual rate r, compounded m times per year, the effective interest rate is:

reff = (1 + r/m)m - 1.

This is the interest rate that would give the same yield if compounded only once per year. In this context r is also called the nominal rate, and is often denoted as rnom.

Numerical Example: A CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly has a nominal rate of rnom = 0.098, and an effective rate of:

r eff =(1 + rnom /m)m   =   (1 + 0.098/12)12 - 1   =  0.1025.

Thus, we get an effective interest rate of 10.25%, since the compounding makes the CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly really pay 10.25% interest over the course of the year.

Mortgage Payments Components: Let where P = principal, r = interest rate per period, n = number of periods, k = number of payments, R = monthly payment, and D = debt balance after K payments, then

R = P r / [1 - (1 + r)-n]

and

D = P (1 + r)k - R [(1 + r)k - 1)/r]

Accelerating Mortgage Payments Components: Suppose one decides to pay more than the monthly payment, the question is how many months will it take until the mortgage is paid off? The answer is, the rounded-up, where:

n = log[x / (x � P r)] / log (1 + r)

where Log is the logarithm in any base, say 10, or e.

Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Components: Ler where R = payment, r = rate of interest, and n = number of payments, then

FV = [ R(1 + r)n - 1 ] / r

Future Value for an Increasing Annuity: It is an increasing annuity is an investment that is earning interest, and into which regular payments of a fixed amount are made. Suppose one makes a payment of R at the end of each compounding period into an investment with a present value of PV, paying interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year, then the future value after t years will be

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R ( (1 + i)n - 1 ) ] / i where i = r/m is the interest paid each period and n = m t is the total number of periods.

Numerical Example: You deposit $100 per month into an account that now contains $5,000 and earns 5% interest per year compounded monthly. After 10 years, the amount of money in the account is:

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R(1 + i)n - 1 ] / i =
5,000(1+0.05/12)120 + [100(1+0.05/12)120 - 1 ] / (0.05/12) = $23,763.28

Value of a Bond:

V is the sum of the value of the dividends and the final payment.

Amount=P(1+r100)n=8000(1+5100)2=8000×(1+120)2=8000×(2120)2=8000×441400=20×441=8820∴CI=Amount−Principal=8820−8000=820. Q. A person invests Rs. 5,000 for three years at a certain rate of interest compounded annually.

What is the difference between the compound interest and simple interest for the sum of?

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for 3 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 122.

What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest on Rs 1000 at 10% for 5 years?

Answer: Principal sum = ₹1000, interest rate = 10%p.a. , time= 4yrs. Simple interest= P.R.T/100 = 1000×10×4/100 = 400. Compound interest= P{1+ R/100}™ - P =1000{1+10/1000}^4-1000 = 1464.1 - 1000 = 464.1 Thus difference in interests= 464.1 - 400 = ₹64.1.
