Assuming that 1.5 refers to 1.5% and that the interest is compounded annually, the principal is 893.30
3000
The amount, P, is the principal. If the rate is r% compounded annually for y years, then the total interest earned is P*[(1 + r/100)^y - 1]
False. Interest upon interest is compounded interest
The analytical answer is 1130.34 but banks are not likely to round up when it comes to paying you money so I would say 1130.33
Interest = 2472
Total value = 20000*(1.06)2 = 22472 So interest = 2472

This is a term used while understanding the interest calculation for deposits. Compounded quarterly means - the interest would be compounded every quarter. Let us say you deposit $1000 in a bank @ 10% interest per year. One year = 4 quarters At the end of the 1st quarter: principal = 1000, Interest = 25 => Value of your investment at the end of the 1st qtr = $1025 At the end of the 2nd quarter: principal = 1025, Interest = 25.625 => Value of your investment at the end of the 1st qtr = $1050.625 If you see here, the interest earned here is 25.625 whereas the interest earned in the previous quarter was only $25. This is because for calculation of interest for the 2nd quarter, the interest earned in the first quarter would be added to the principal. Shorter the compounding interval more the interest earned.

Interest earned in a bank account is not an investment. It is considered an income. The money that you have in the bank account that earned the interest for you is considered the investment
The answer depends on how the interest is compounded - but in simple interest compounded annually on $70,000 at 12 percent, the total value would be $383,150. The first year the investment would earn $8,400 ($70,000 x .12), and the "principle balance" would increase to $78,400. The second year interest would be earned on $78,400 ($70,000 + $8,400 earned in year one), which would be $9,408 ($78,400 x .12), making the new principle balance $87,808. Interest in the fifteenth year would be $41,052 paid on a principle balance of $342,098, for a total of $383,150.

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%?
In terms of economics, compounded interest means the interest earned from the principal and added interest. In many cases, this method is always used by some internet scammers to lure people to invest.
