Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Compound Interest Formula

  • When interest is compounded yearly, we use the formula A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ
  • Compound Interest = Amount - Principal = A - P
  • Direct formula for CI: CI = P[(1 + r/100)ⁿ - 1]
2

Different Rates for Successive Years

  • When rates differ each year, multiply separate growth factors
  • Each year is calculated independently with its own rate
  • The formula extends naturally: A = P(1 + r₁/100)(1 + r₂/100)(1 + r₃/100)...
3

Inverse Problems

  • Finding principal when amount is given: P = A/(1 + r/100)ⁿ
  • Finding rate when principal and amount are given: solve (1 + r/100)ⁿ = A/P
  • Finding time when principal, amount and rate are given: solve for n
4

Half-Yearly Compounding

  • When compounded half-yearly, rate is divided by 2 and time is multiplied by 2
  • Formula becomes: A = P(1 + r/(2×100))^(n×2)
  • More frequent compounding results in higher returns
