FV = | Future Value |
PV = | Present Value |
r = | rate of interest |
n= | no of period |
COMPOUNDED QUARTERLY | |
FV = | PV (1 + r )n |
FV = | 10000*(1+12%/4)^16 |
FV = | 16047 |
INTEREST = | FV - PV |
16047.06 - 10000 | |
6047 | |
COMPOUNDED MONTHLY | |
FV = | PV (1 + r )n |
FV = | 10000*(1+12%)^4 |
FV = | 15735 |
INTEREST = | FV - PV |
15735.19 - 10000 | |
5735 | |
DIFFERENCE IN INTEREST = | 6047 - 5735 |
