Two ways for calculating interest
Simple Interest
Compound Interest
Simple Interest
• The interest earned in each period is calculated based on the total amount based on the
previous period.
• The total amount includes the principal amount plus the accumulated interest that has
been left in the account.
• With this, Balance after the end of the second period is
P(1+i) + i[P(1+i)] = P(1+i) (1+i) = P (1+i)2
Continuing, we can see that the balance after the 3rd period is
P(1+i) 2 + i[P(1+i) 2] = P (1+i)3
With this,
F = P(1+ i)N
