| FV = | Future Value | 
| PV = | Present Value | 
| r = | rate of interest | 
| n= | no of period | 
| COMPOUND INTEREST | |
| FV = | PV (1 + r )^n | 
| FV = | 1000*(1+5%/2)^2 | 
| FV = | 1050.63 | 
| SIMPLE INTEREST | |
| FV = | PV + PV * Rate * Time | 
| FV = | 1000 + 1000 * 5%*1 | 
| FV = | 1050.00 |
