- Question
If the simple interest on a sum of money at 5% per annum for 3 years is Rs. 1200, find the compound interest on the same sum for the same period at the same rate.
Options- A. Rs.1251
- B. Rs.1261
- C. Rs.1271
- D. Rs,1281
- Correct Answer
- Rs.1261
ExplanationClearly, Rate = 5% p.a .,
Time = 3 years
S.I =Rs.1200.
So,Principal
=Rs.(100 x 1200/3x5)
=Rs.8000.
Amount
=Rs.[8000 x (1+5/100)³]
=Rs(8000x21/20x21/20x21/20)
= Rs.9261
C.I
=Rs.(9261-8000)
=Rs.1261.

Therefore, the total amount the owner received on January 17, 2001 was
$1295.57 + $10.47 = $1306.04
Correct Answer: 8780.80
Explanation:
when interest is reckoned using compound interest, interest being compounded annually. The difference in the simple interest and compound interest for two years is on account of the interest paid on the first year's interest Hence 12% of simple interest = 90 => simple interest =90/0.12 =750.
As the simple interest for a year = 750 @ 12% p.a., the principal =750/0.12 = Rs.6250.
If the principal is 6250, then the amount outstanding at the end of 3 years = 6250 + 3(simple interest on 6250) + 3 (interest on simple interest) + 1 (interest on interest on interest) = 6250 +3(750) + 3(90) + 1(10.80) = 8780.80.
Correct Answer: 7.9
Explanation:
FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
Correct Answer: 4207.66
Explanation:
F=P(1+i)^n
Correct Answer: 2557.29
Explanation:
First find the present value of $3800,then compare present values:
M = p(1+i/4)^4n
Correct Answer: 19296
Explanation:
The single equivalent payment will be PV + FV.
FV = Future value of $10,000, 12 months later
$10,000 *(1.0075)/12
$10,938.07
PV= Present value of $10,000, 24 months earlier
$10,000/(1.0075)24
$8358.31
The equivalent single payment is
$10,938.07 + $8358.31 = $19,296.38
