Business Mathematics - Simple and Compound Interest

 

Business Mathematics

Simple and Compound Interest

 

 Simple Interest Formulas

1

SI =

Prt ÷ 100

2

A =

P + SI

3

r =

(SI × 100) ÷ Pt

4

t =

(SI × 100) ÷ Pr

5

P =

(SI × 100) ÷ rt

6

P =

A SI

7

SI =

A P

8

A =

P [1 + (rt ÷ 100)]

9

P =

A ÷ [1 + (rt ÷ 100)]

 

Where,

 

SI =

Simple Interest

P =

Principal

r =

Rate of interest per cent p.a.

t =

Time in years

A =

Amount (i.e. Principal + Interest)


 Compound interest formulas

1

A =

P (1 + i/x) ^n

2

P =

A ÷ (1 + i/x) ^n

3

I =

A – P

4

I =

P [{(1 + i/x) ^n} – 1]

5

ERI =

[(1 + i/x) ^x] – 1


Where,

 

A =

Amount (Principal + Total interest)

= Future Value

P =

Principal = Present Value

I =

Total Interest Earned

i =

Interest of Rs 1 for one year

i =

r ÷ 100

r =

Rate of interest per cent p.a.

n =

Total number of times interest is to be compounded

x =

Number of times interest is compounded per year

ERI =

Effective rate of interest
