how much more can you have in 57 years with compoudning vs simple interest when the interest rate is 8.9% abnd the principal is 500?
Solution :-
Principal Amount = $500
Rate of Interest = 8.9%
Balance after 57 years as per simple interest = $500 + ( $500 * 8.9% * 57 )
= $500 + $2,536.50
= $3,036.50
Balance after 57 years as per Compounding interest = $500 * ( 1 + 0.089 )57
= $500 * 128.9998
= $64,499.92
Therefore Difference = $64,499.92 - $3,036.50 = $61,463.42
Therefore we have $61,463.42 more in account after 57 years as per compounding in comparison to simple interest
