INTEREST
Interest is the fixed amount paid on borrowed money.
The sum lent is called the Principal.
The sum of (he principal and interest is called the Amount.
Interest is of two kinds:
(i) Simple interest (ii) Compound interest

(i) Simple Interest: When interest is calculated on the original principal for any
length of time, it is called simple interest.

Example3:
In how many years will a sum of money triple itself, at 25% per annum simple

Example 4:

Example 5:
To buy furniture for a new apartment, Sylvia Chang borrowed Rs.5000 at 11 %
simple interest for 11 months. How much interest will she pay?

Solution:
From the formula, I = Prt, with P = 5000, r = 11, and t = 11/12 (in years). The total
interest she will pay is
I = 5000 (.11)(11/12) = 504.17
Or Rs.504.17

(ii) Compound Interest: Money is said to be lent at compound [merest when at the
end of a year or other fixed period, the interest that has become due is not paid to
the lender, but is added to the sum lent, and the amount thus obtained becomes the
principal in the next year or period. The process is repeated until the amount for die
last period has been found. Hence, When die interest charged a Hera certain
specified time period is added to form new principal for the next time period, the
interest is said to be compounded and the total interest accrued is compound

In how many years, the sum of Rs 10000 will become Rs.10920.25 if the rate of
compound interest is 4.5% per annum?

Solution:
A = Rs.10920.25
P = Rs.10000
Rate of interest = 4.5%
Time(n) = ?

Hence Rs 10000 will become Rs 10920.25 in 2 years at 4.5%

Example 9:
Suppose Rs.1000 is deposited for 6 years in an account paying 8.31 % per year
compounded annually.
(a) Find the compound amount
In the formula above, P = 1000, i = .0831, and n = 6.
The compound amount is
A = P(1 + i)n
A = 1000(1.0831)6
A = Rs.1614.40.
(b) Find the amount of interest earned.
Subtract the initial deposit from the compound amount.
Amount of interest = Rs.1614.40 - Rs.1000 = Rs.614.40.

Compound interest-when interest is calculated half-yearly
Since r is calculated half-yearly therefore the rate per cent will become half and the
time period will become twice, i.e.,
𝑟
Rate per cent when interest is paid half-yearly = %
2
and time = 2 x time given in years
Hence,

Example 11:
What will be the compound interest on Rs 4000 in4 years at 8 per cent annum. If
the interest is calculated half-yearly.

Solution;
Given : P = Rs4000, r = 8%,n = 4 years
Since interest is calculated half-yearly, therefore.
8
r = % = 4% and n = 4 x 2 = 8 half years

A = 4000(1 + ) = 4000 × (25)
100
= 4000 x 1.3685 = 5474.2762
Amount = Rs 5474.28 .
Interest = Amount - Principal
= Rs.5474.28 – Rs.4000 = Rs.1474.28

Compound interest-when interest is calculated quarterly

Example 12:
Find the compound interest on Rs 25625 for 12 months at 16% per annum,
compounded quarterly.

Solution:
Principal (P) = Rs 25625

Rate (r) = 16% = % = 4%

EFFECTIVE RATE
If Rs.1 is deposited at 4% compounded quarterly, a calculator can be used to find
that at the end of one year, the compound amount is Rs.1.0406, an Increase of
4.06% over the original Rs.1. The actual Increase of 4.06% in the money is
somewhat higher than the stated Increase of 4%. To differentiate between these
two numbers. 4% Is called the nominal or stated rate of interest, while 4,06% is
called the effective rate. To avoid confusion between staled rates and effective
rates, we shall continue to use r for the stated rate and we will use r for the
effective rate.

Example 15:
Find the effective rate corresponding to a staled me of 6% compounded
semiannually.

Solution:
A calculator shows that Rs.100 at 6% compounded semiannually will grow to

) = 100 (1.03)2 = $ 106.09
Thus, the actual amount of compound interest is Rs.106.09 - Rs.100 = Rs.
6.09.Now if you cam Rs.6.09 interest: on Rs. 100 in 1 year with annual
compounding, your rate is
6.09/100 = .0609 = 6.09%,
Thus, the effective rate is re = 6.09%.
In the preceding example we found the effective rate by dividing compound
interest for year by the original principal. The same thing can be done with any
principal P and rate r compounded m limes per year.

The general formula of compound interest can be changed to the following form:
If a certain sum becomes 'm' times in 't' years, the rate of compound interest r is
equal to 100 [(m)1/t - 1].
In this case, r = 100 [(9)1/t -1]

Example 22:

Solution:
We have,
P + Cl of 3 yrs = Rs5324 .......(1)
P + CI of 2 yrs = Rs4840 .......(2)
Subtracting (2) from (l), we get
Cl of 3rd year = 5324 – 4840 = Rs484.
Thus, die CI calculated in the third year which is Rs 484 is basically the amount of
interest on die amount generated after 2 years which is Rs 4840.
