What is the compound interest on Rs 12600 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually?

Solution : Here, Principal amount, `P = "Rs. 12,600` <br> Time, `t = 2` years<br> Rate `r = 10%` per annum<br> So, Amount, `A = P(1+r/100)^t`<br> `A = 12600(1+10/100)^2`<br> `A= 12600**11/10**11/10= "Rs. 15,246` <br> So, `C.I. = A-P = 15,246-12,600 = "Rs. 2,646`

Kamala borrowed Rs 26,400 from a Bank to buy a scooter at a rate of 15% p.a. compounded yearly. What amount will she pay at the end of 2 years and 4 months to clear the loan?

(Hint: Find A for 2 years with interest is compounded yearly and then find SI an the 2nd year for 4/12 tears.)

Here, we shall calculate the amount for 2 years using the CI formula. Then this amount will become the principal for next 4 months, i.e. 4/12 years.

Solution

We have,

A = P`(1 + R/100)^n`, where Principal (P) = ₹ 12600, Rate (R) = 10, Number of years (n) = 2

= ₹ 12600`(1 + 10/100)^2`

= ₹ 12600`(11/10)^2`

= ₹ `12600 xx 11/10 xx 11/10`

= ₹ 15246.

CI = A - P

= ₹ 15246 - ₹ 12600 

= ₹ 2646.

Find the CI on Rs 12,600 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually.

Answer

Hint:This is a problem related to Compound Interest (CI). To find out the CI, principal amount, rate of interest and number of years for which the interest to be calculated have been given in the problem. Put these values in the standard formula to calculate CI. The standard formula to calculate final amount is as $A = P{(1 + \dfrac{R}{{100}})^n}$

Complete step-by-step answer:
Now, to calculate the compound interest, we should know the final amount after the given years, which can be expressed as
$A = P{(1 + \dfrac{R}{{100}})^n}{\text{ }}...................{\text{ (1)}}$
Where $A$ is the final amount, $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest and $n$ is the number of years.
In the question, it is given that
$
  P = 12,600 \\
  R = 10\% {\text{ and}} \\
  n = 2{\text{ years}} $
Now, putting these values in the equation (1) above, we will get the following expression,
$
  A = 12600 \times {(1 + \dfrac{{10}}{{100}})^2} \\
  A = 12600 \times {(\dfrac{{11}}{{10}})^2} \\
  A = 12600 \times \dfrac{{121}}{{100}} \\
  A = 126 \times 121 \\
  A = 15246 $
Now, we already know that $P$ is the principal amount 12,600
Hence, interest compounded $CI$ in 2 years is as below,
$
  CI = A - P \\
  CI = 15246 - 12600 \\
  CI = 2646 $
Thus, the answer to the question, the Interest Compound $CI$ is Rs 2,646.

Note:Interest to the principal amount is of two types.
1.Simple Interest
2.Compound Interest
Both these interests are different in nature. The final amount with simple interest can be calculated in the following way,
$A = P(1 + \dfrac{R}{{100}} \times n){\text{ }}.............{\text{ (2)}}$,
Where $A$ is the final amount, $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest and $n$is the number of years.
You can easily understand from the two formulae, eq. (1) and (2), that the final amount calculated from these two formulae are very different and the amount calculated with formula (1) is higher as compared to the amount calculated with formula (2) when $n > 1$.
