Math Problem Statement

Find the compound interest on Rs 10000 for 1 year and 3 months at 8% P.A compounded annually​

Solution

To calculate the compound interest, we'll break the calculation into two parts: first for 1 year and then for 3 months.

Given:

  • Principal (PP) = Rs 10,000
  • Rate of Interest (rr) = 8% per annum
  • Time (tt) = 1 year and 3 months

Since the interest is compounded annually, the 1 year and 3 months will be treated as 1.25 years (where 3 months is converted to a fraction of a year: 312=0.25\frac{3}{12} = 0.25).

Compound Interest Formula:

A=P(1+r100)tA = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^t Compound Interest=AP\text{Compound Interest} = A - P

Calculation:

  1. Convert the rate and time to the required format:

    • Rate (rr) = 8%
    • Time (tt) = 1.25 years
  2. Substitute the values into the formula: A=10000(1+8100)1.25A = 10000 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^{1.25} A=10000(1.08)1.25A = 10000 \left(1.08\right)^{1.25}

Let's calculate this step by step:

A=10000×1.103812890611038.13A = 10000 \times 1.1038128906 \approx 11038.13

  1. Finally, find the compound interest: Compound Interest=AP=11038.1310000=Rs1038.13\text{Compound Interest} = A - P = 11038.13 - 10000 = Rs 1038.13

Answer:

The compound interest on Rs 10,000 for 1 year and 3 months at 8% per annum compounded annually is Rs 1038.13.

Here are five related questions:

  1. How would the compound interest change if the interest was compounded semi-annually instead of annually?
  2. What would be the compound interest for 2 years at the same rate?
  3. How does simple interest differ from compound interest for the same principal, rate, and time?
  4. If the time was 2 years and 6 months, how would the calculation change?
  5. What would be the total amount after 5 years with the same principal and rate?

Tip: For compound interest, understanding how to convert months into years can help in accurate calculations.
