Project I: Simple Interest
Purpose of Simple Interest in Banking:
Simple Interest helps banks and customers calculate interest on loans and deposits
over a fixed time.
It is easy to calculate and understand, especially for short-term financial dealings.
Used in savings accounts, fixed deposits, and short-term loans.
Helps estimate how much a customer owes or earns without reinvestment.
Promotes saving and provides predictable growth on investments.
Problems Based on Simple Interest:
Formula: SI = (P × R × T) / 100
1. Example 1:
P = 10,000, R = 5%, T = 2 years
SI = (10000×5×2)/100 = 1,000
2. Example 2:
P = 8,000, R = 4%, T = 3 years
SI = (8000×4×3)/100 = 960
3. Example 3:
P = 15,000, R = 6%, T = 4 years
SI = (15000×6×4)/100 = 3,600
4. Example 4:
P = 5,000, R = 10%, T = 2 years
SI = (5000×10×2)/100 = 1,000
5. Example 5:
P = 12,000, R = 7%, T = 3 years
SI = (12000×7×3)/100 = 2,520
Project II: Compound Interest
Purpose of Compound Interest in Banking:
Encourages savings as the interest earned is reinvested.
Helps banks grow investments and offer better returns.
Used in loans to calculate total repayment over time.
Essential for investment planning and financial stability.
Gives more accurate results over time than simple interest.
Type 1: Finding Compound Interest and Amount
Formula: A = P(1 + r/100)^t, CI = A - P
6. Example 1:
P = 10,000, r = 5%, t = 2 years
A = 11,025, CI = 1,025
7. Example 2:
P = 8,000, r = 4%, t = 3 years
A = 8,999, CI = 999
8. Example 3:
P = 15,000, r = 6%, t = 4 years
A = 18,937, CI = 3,937
9. Example 4:
P = 5,000, r = 10%, t = 2 years
A = 6,050, CI = 1,050
10. Example 5:
P = 12,000, r = 7%, t = 3 years
A = 14,701, CI = 2,701
Type 2: Finding Rate of Interest (r)
Formula: A = P(1 + r/100)^t, solve for r
11. Example 1:
P = 5,000, A = 6,050, t = 2 years
r = 10%
12. Example 2:
P = 12,000, A = 15,552, t = 3 years
r = 9%
13. Example 3:
P = 20,000, A = 26,910, t = 4 years
r ≈ 7.8%
14. Example 4:
P = 7,000, A = 8,679.23, t = 3 years
r = 7.4%
15. Example 5:
P = 25,000, A = 31,104, t = 2 years
r = 11.5%
Type 3: Finding the Principal (P)
Formula: P = A / (1 + r/100)^t
16. Example 1:
A = 6,050, r = 10%, t = 2 years
P = 5,000
17. Example 2:
A = 15,552, r = 9%, t = 3 years
P = 12,000
18. Example 3:
A = 26,910, r = 8%, t = 4 years
P ≈ 20,000
19. Example 4:
A = 10,000, r = 5%, t = 3 years
P = 8,638
20. Example 5:
A = 50,000, r = 6%, t = 2 years
P = 44,490
