A n R= – 1 P When a principal £P earns compound interest at an annual rate R for n years, the final amount is: A = P (1 + R)n The annual rate at which a principal £P would increase to an amount £P in nyears is: Interest earned in 1 year Amount at the beginning of the year 100% Useful Savings Facts & Formulae The amount invested is called the principal AER = The AER corresponding to rate r added n times per year is: R = (1 + r)n – 1
4.2 R= = 0.042 100 A = P (1 + R)n Example Neil invests £2000 at 4.2% per annum. Calculate the amount after 10 years. A = 2000(1 + 0.042 )10 = 2000x 1.04510 = 3017.916… Amount = £3017.92 (nearest pence)
Interest earned in 1 year b) AER = 100% Amount at the beginning of the year 256.91 = 100% 6000 Kate invests £S at 0.35% per month. Example The amount after nyears isP = S 1.0035 12n a) Kate invests £6000. Find the amount at the end of 1 year. b) Hence find the AER. a) P= 6000 1.003512 = 6256.908… Amount at the end of 1 year = £6256.91 (nearest pence) AER = 4.28%
