What does quarterly mean in compounded interest?
It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.
What is the interest on 1200 invested for 2 years in an account that earns 5 percent interest per year?
The answer, assuming compounding once per year and using generic monetary units (MUs), is MU123. In the first year, MU1,200 earning 5% generates MU60 of interest. The MU60 earned the first year is added to the original MU1,200, allowing us to earn interest on MU1,260 in the second year. MU1,260 earning 5% generates MU63. So, MU60 + MU63 is equal to MU123. The answers will be different assuming different compounding periods as follows: Compounding Period Two Years of Interest No compounding MU120.00 Yearly compounding MU123.00 Six-month compounding MU124.58 Quarterly compounding MU125.38 Monthly compounding MU125.93 Daily compounding MU126.20 Continuous compounding MU126.21
What would be the ending balance of a 700 savings account earning 8 percent interest compounded quarterly after 3 years?
8 percent compounded quarterly is equivalent to approx 36% annually. At that rate, after 3 years the ending balance would be 1762.72 approx.
Why is compound interest better than simple interest?
Compound interest is better than simple (or "nominal") interest because compound interest allows you to add your accumulated interest back to your total every given term (i.e. each day, each week, each month, quarterly, annually, etc.), thus increasing the amount of money you are earning interest on.Example:Say you deposit 100 dollars for 2 years at 10% per year in 2 banks, one which does not compound your interest (Bank A), and one that compounds annually (Bank B).Bank A:After 1 year: 100 x 1.10 (1.10 = your amount + 10%) = 110After 2 years: 100 x 1.20 (1.20 = your amount +10% x 2) = 120Bank B:After 1 year: 100 x 1.10 = 110but then instead of using 100 again, you add the additional 10 back into your total and collect interest on 110 dollars in year two.So:After 2 years: 110 x 1.10 (1.10 = your amount + 10%) = 121
