Sandra Smith deposited $2,200 today in an account paying 6
percent interest annually.
1. What would be the simple interest earned on this investment in 5
years?
Simple interest on investment | $ |
2. With annual compounding, how much interest-on-interest would
Sandra earn in 5 years?
Interest-on-interest | $ |
1) Simple interest = principal*rate of interest*no.of years
= 2,200*6%*5
= 660
2) Compounding interest = Future value- Present value
Present value = 2,200
Future value = 2,200*(1+0.06)^5
= 2,200*1.3382
= 2,944
Interest =2,944-2,200
= 744
