Compound interest on ₹ 8000 at 5% per annum for 2 years.

Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 8000 at 5% per annum for 2 years.

Solution:

It is given that
Principal = ₹ 8000
Rate of interest = 5% p.a.
We know that
Interest for the first year = Prt/100
Substituting the values
= (8000 × 5 × 1)/ 100
= ₹ 400
So the amount for the first year or principal for the second year = 8000 + 400 = ₹ 8400
Here
Interest for the second year = (8400 × 5 × 1)/ 100
So we get
= ₹ 420
We know that
Amount after the second year = 8400 + 420
= ₹ 8820
Total compound interest = 8820 + 8000
= ₹ 820
