| Calculation of Simple Interest | |
| 
Interest= P*N*R Where, P= Principal amount invested, N= No. of years for which the amount is invested, & R= Rate of Interest.  | 
|
| Simple Interest = | 10000*12%*5Years | 
| Simple Interest = | $6,000.00 | 
| Calculation of Compound Interest | |
| 
Interest = (P(1+R)^N)-P Where,P= Principal amount invested, N= No. of years for which the amount is invested, & R= Rate of Interest.  | 
|
| Compound Interest = | (10000(1+0.12)^5)-10000 | 
| Compound Interest = | $7,623.42 | 
| Thus the additional Interest that the investment will provide is equal to $ 7623 - $ 6000, i.e., $1623 |
