What is the  compound interest?

An investment earns compound interest when both the amount invested and the interest accrued increases in value at predetermined time intervals.

The formula to represent compound interest is :

FV - amount invested

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = interest rate
  • m = number of compounding
  • N = number of years

a. 7300 x [1 + (0.1/2)]^(3 x 2) = 9782.70

Compound interest = 9782.70 = 7300 = $2482.70

b. 7300 x [1 + (0.08/12)]^(12 x 3) = 9272.73

9272.73 - 7300 = $1972.73
