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 |
