To calculate compound interest, you can use the formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment/loan amount
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = number of years
In this case, we have:
P = Rs 1500
r = 6% per annum, which is equal to 0.06 as a decimal
t = 2 years
Let's assume that the interest is compounded annually in this case (n = 1).
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
A = 1500(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*2)
A = 1500(1 + 0.06)^2
A = 1500(1.06)^2
A = 1500(1.1236)
A = Rs 1,685.40
Therefore, the compound interest on Rs 1500 for 2 years at 6% per annum is Rs 185.40.
To compute compound interest, you can use the formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment
P = the principal amount (initial investment)
r = the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years
In your case, you have:
P = Rs 1500
r = 6% per annum = 0.06 (expressed as a decimal)
n = 1 (interest is compounded annually)
t = 2 years
Plugging in these values into the formula, we can calculate:
A = 1500(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*2)
= 1500(1 + 0.06)^2
= 1500(1.06)^2
≈ 1697.64
So, the compound interest on Rs 1500 for 2 years at 6% per annum is approximately Rs 197.64.
