Compound interest increases the amount earned by adding credited interest to the principal, and interest will then be earned on that money as well. The longer the principal and interest remain in the account, the greater the earnings they will accrue.
Assuming that 1.5 refers to 1.5% and that the interest is compounded annually, the principal is 893.30
2.25
This is applying simple interest of 5% per term, for 8 terms, and finally, multiplying it by the $600 principal. 600 x 0.05x8 equal to 240 $.
The annual (or annualised) interest rate.
The amount of money earned on a principal called is interest
P*(1+R/100)powerT where P= money borrowed or principal and R= rate in percent and T= time * * * * * Actually, this formula gives the value of the principal PLUS interest. You need to subtract P from the answer to get the compounded interest.

compound
Use the formula I = P x R x TWhere I=interestP=principal investmentR=interest rateT=time in yearsIn this case, we want to know R, so re-arrange the formula to get:R = I / (P x T)=456/ (1600x6)=456/9600=0.0475=4.75%
A $5000 investment at an annual simple interest rate of 4.4% earned as much interest after one year as another investment in an account that earned 5.5% annual simple interest. How much was invested at 5.5%?
A=P(1+(r/n))^nt A= annual interest (interest earned after 1 year) P= principal amount put in account r= interest rate (ex: 5%=.05) n= point interest is accumulated (ex: quarterly-n=4; ex: yearly-n=1) t= time interest is being built up
Times Interest Earned = Operating Income/ Interest Expense.
compound... yes it is compound interest.

Simple interest is interest paid on the original principle only, Compound interest is the interest earned not only on the original principal, but also on all interests earned previously.
