Correct Answer: 11 percent
Correct Answer: Rs. 1901
Explanation:
P = Rs. 15225, n = 9 months = 3 quarters, R = 16% p.a. per quarter.
Amount =
= (15225 x 26/25 x 26/25 x 26/25) = Rs. 17126.05
=> C.I. = 17126 - 15625 = Rs. 1901.05.
Correct Answer: 6.09%
Explanation:
Amount of Rs. 100 for 1 year
when compounded half-yearly = Rs.[100*(1+3/100)^2]=Rs.106.09
Effective rate=(106.09-100)%=6.09%
Correct Answer: Rs.8820
Explanation:
Amount = =Rs.8820
Correct Answer: 5years
Explanation:
Rs.100 invested in compound interest becomes Rs.200 in 5 years.
The amount will double again in another 5 years.
i.e., the amount will become Rs.400 in another 5 years.
So, to earn another Rs.200 interest, it will take another 5 years.
Correct Answer: 5387.42
Explanation:
The mathematical formula for calculating compound interest depends on several factors. These factors include the amount of money deposited called the principal, the annual interest rate (in decimal form), the number of times the money is compounded per year, and the number of years the money is left in the bank.
FV = Future value of the Deposit
p = Principal or Amount of Money deposited
r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal form )
n = No of times compounded per year
t = time in years
= 5387.42
Correct Answer: Rs. 2028
Explanation:
Amount = P(1 + r/100)^t
Amount = 1875(1 + 4/100)^2
Amount = 1875(104/100)(104/100)
Amount = 2028
Correct Answer: Rs. 4305
Correct Answer: 8800
Correct Answer: Rs.2750
Explanation:
Shawn received an extra amount of (Rs.605 ? Rs.550) Rs.55 on his compound interest paying bond as the interest that he received in the first year also earned interest in the second year.
The extra interest earned on the compound interest bond = Rs.55
The interest for the first year =550/2 = Rs.275
Therefore, the rate of interest = = 20% p.a.
20% interest means that Shawn received 20% of the amount he invested in the bonds as interest.
If 20% of his investment in one of the bonds = Rs.275, then his total investment in each of the bonds = = 1375.
As he invested equal sums in both the bonds, his total savings before investing = 2 x 1375 =Rs.2750.
