What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest?
a
Compound interest is unpredictable, and does not allow savers to calculate interest earned over time like simple interest.
b
Simple and compound interest rates both change based on an index, but only simple interest rates collect interest on the original principal.
c
Compound interest is better for borrowers of money, while simple interest works harder for investors and savers.
d
A simple interest rate earns interest only on the principal, while compound interest earns interest on any interest accrued over time as well.
d
A simple interest rate earns interest only on the original principal, while compound interest earns interest on both the principal and any interest accrued over time. This means that compound interest can accumulate faster and result in higher overall earnings.
