To take no interest in activities outside their homes
AnswerCompound interest works like this.Take a principle (The amount of money you deposit) of $10,000.Lets say that the interest rate is 8% and that it compounds anually.At the end of one year you would have $10,800.With simple interest, at the end of two years, you would have $11,600 because you only earn interst on the principle.After three years you would have $12,400.However, with compound interest, you will earn interest on not just the principle, but the compounded interest as well.Therefore, with compound interest, at the end of two years, you would have 11,664.After three years it would be $12,597.12 and so on.
Some of the many examples are calculating tax, discounts/sale prices, interest, gratuities (tips), grades, pay increases.
False. Interest upon interest is compounded interest
Simple interest is interest that is calculated only on the amount of unpaid principal on a loan. Such interest is not added to the value of the loan but is tracked separately. Compound interest is interest that is calculated on the total of unpaid principal and accumulated interest on a loan. The difference is in simple interest there is no interest charged on accumulated interest while in compound interest there is interest charged on accumulated interest.
