Question -

Find the amount and the compound interest on ₹ 10,000 for 1(1/2) years at 10% per annum, compounded half yearly. Would this interest be more than the interest he would get if it was compounded annually?



Answer -

Given: P = ₹ 10,000, n = 1(1/2) years
R = 10% per annum
Since the interest is compounded half yearly
 
Total interest = ₹ 1,000 + ₹ 550 = ₹ 1,550
Difference between the two interests = ₹ 1,576.25 – ₹ 1,550 = ₹ 26.25
Hence, the interest will be ₹ 26.25 more when compounded half yearly than the interest when compounded annually.
