Problema Solution
find the sum that yield an amount of rs.170 after 2 years at 12.5% p.a. interest being compounded annually
Answer provided by our tutors
A = Rs 170 future value
t = 2 years
r = 12.5% annual interest rate
m = 1 number of compounding period per year
n = 2 the number of compounding periods
i = r/m = 12.5% interest per period
P = ? the principal
A = P(1 + i)^n
P = A/(1 + i)^n
P = 170/(1 + 0.125)^2
P = 170/1.265625
P = Rs 134.321
the sum that yield an amount of rs.170 after 2 years at 12.5% p.a. interest being compounded annually is Rs 134.321.
