Notes 4.10 Compound Interest
Compound Interest Formula: • P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit) • r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal) • t = number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for. • A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. • n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
Compounding Words: • “Daily” =365 • “Monthly” = 12 • “Quarterly” =4 • “Semiannually”=2 • “Annually” = 1
Ex: An amount of $1,500.00 is deposited in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 4.3%, compounded quarterly. What is the balance after 6 years? • P =1500 • r = .043 • t = 6 • n =4
$6,500 at 8% compoundedmonthly for 7 years? • P =6500 • r = .08 • t = 7 • n =12
$4000 at 6%, compounded quarterlyfor 5 years? • P =4000 • r = .06 • t = 5 • n =4
A man invests $10, 000 in an account that pays 8.5% interest per year, compounded Daily. What will he have after 3 years? • P =10,000 • r = .085 • t = 3 • n =365
