Find the amount and compound interest on 10,000 for 1 year at 8% per annum compounded half yearly

Solution:

What is known: Principal, Time Period, and Rate of Interest

What is unknown: Amount and Compound Interest (C.I.)

Reasoning:

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

P = ₹ 10,000

n = \(1{\Large\frac{1}{2}}\) years

R = 10% p.a. compounded annually and half-yearly

where , A = Amount, P = Principal, n = Time period and R = Rate percent

For calculation of C.I. compounded half-yearly, we will take the Interest rate as 5% and n = 3

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

A = 10000[1 + (5/100)]3

A = 10000[1 + (1/20)]3

A = 10000 × (21/20)3

A = 10000 × (21/20) × (21/20) × (21/20)

A = 10000 × (9261/8000)

A = 5 × (9261/4)

A = 11576.25

Interest earned at 10% p.a. compounded half-yearly = A - P

= ₹ 11576.25 - ₹ 10000 = ₹ 1576.25

Now, let's find the interest when compounded annually at the same rate of interest.

Hence, for 1 year R = 10% and n = 1

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

A = 10000[1 + (10/100)]1

A = 10000[1 + (1/10)]

A = 10000 × (11/10)

A = 11000

Now, for the remaining 1/2 year P = 11000, R = 5%

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

A = 11000[1 + (5/100)]

A = 11000[(105/100)]

A = 11000 × 1.05

A = 11550

Thus, amount at the end of \(1{\Large\frac{1}{2}}\)when compounded annually = ₹ 11550

Thus, compound interest = ₹ 11550 - ₹ 10000 = ₹ 1550

Therefore, the interest will be less when compounded annually at the same rate.

Here P = Rs 10000, T = 1 year

        R = 8% p.a. compounded half yearly.

∴      R = 8% p.a. = 4% half yearly

      T = 1 year

Now, amount =

                                    = Rs 10,000

                  = Rs 10,000

                                    = Rs 10,000

                  = Rs

    CI = 10816 - 10000 = Rs 816
