r
Compound Interest A ( t )=P 1+ where A ( t )=amount after t years , P= principal amount
n
n=number of ×interest is compounded per year , r =interest rate per year , t=number of years
Ex#1. A sum of $1000 is invested at an interest rate of 12% per year. Find the amount in the account after 3
years if interest is compounded,
A) Annually B) Semiannually
C) Quarterly D) Monthly
E) Weekly F) Daily
Ex#2. If $10,000 is invested at an interest rate of 3% per year, Find the amount in the account after 5 years
if interest is compounded,
A) Semiannually B) Quarterly
c) Weekly D) Monthly

EX#1. Find the amount after 3 years if $1000 is invested at an interest rate of 12% per year, compounded
continuously.
EX#2. If $2000 is invested at an interest rate of 3.5% per year, compounded continuously. Find the value of
an investment after 12 years.
EX#3. A sum of $5000 is invested at an interest rate of 5% per year. Find the amount in the account after 10
years if interest is compounded according to the following methods.
A) Semiannually B) Continuously
