Not usually. A "4 percent increase in the interest rate" usually means that there is some reference interest rate of x percent that is increased to 4 + x percent. This means that the interest paid increases from x percent of the principal to 4 + x percent of the principal. Therefore, the interest paid increases by 100 (4/x) %. For example, if a recent Federal funds rate of 1 % in the United States were to be increased by 4 %, the interest paid on any given amount of principal would increase by 400 %!
4.75 percent of 900 is 42.75 . A few pennies more if the interest is compounded at any time during the year. For example, if interest is compounded every month, then you have 43.69 at the end of the year.
$972.00From Superscot85: Above answer is for Simple Interest. You specifically stated "compound" so after 2 years balance will be 900 x (1.04)2 ie 973.44
