4. How much will $20,000 amount to in 2 yearsat CI if the rates for successive years are 8%and 10% p.a. respectively?​

Answer»

Given :-

Principal = $20,000

Time = 2 years

Rate for the first year = 8%

Rate for the SECOND year = 10%

To Find :-

The compound INTEREST

Solution :-

For the first year :-

Principal = $20,000

Time = 1 year

Rate = 8%

Interest\: =\: {\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}}

On inserting the values in the formula

We get ,

Interest\: =\: {\dfrac{20000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}}

\implies\: Interest\: =\: {\dfrac{\cancel{20000}^{200}\: \times 8 \times 1}{\cancel{100}^{1}}}

\implies\: Interest\: =\: \bold{1600}

AMOUNT = Principal + Interest

= $ 20,000 + $ 1,600

= $ 21,600

For the second year :-

Principal = $ 21,600

Time = 1 year

Rate = 10%

Interest\: =\: {\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}}

On inserting the values in the formula

On inserting the values in the formulaWe get ,

\implies\: Interest\: =\: {\dfrac{21600 \times 10 \times 1}{100}}

\implies\: Interest\: =\: \bold{2160}

Amount = Principal + Interest

= $ 21,600 + $ 2,160

= $ 23,760

Compound Interest = Final Amount - Original Principal

= $ 23,760 - 20,000

= $ 3,760

Therefore, compound interest is $ 3,760
