Using the compound interest formula which states A = P (1 + r/n)nt. We get the following result:10000 ( 1 + .095/4)4(4)10000 (1 + 0.02375) 1610000 (1.02375) 1610000 (1.45580)$14558Therefore you earn approximately $4558.00 on a CD yielding a 9.5% interest rate for 4 years.
4% of 2500 = 2500*4/100 = 100 Assuming there is no compounding - The above calculation is appropriate and 100 is the interest earned by Franklin at the end of one year. There are banks that offer quarterly or half yearly compounding wherein, the interest earned in the first quarter would be considered as principal in the second quarter. In that case, the calculation would vary. In the UK the quoted rate must be the annual equivalent rate which takes any compounding into account. So 4 percent annually (as stated in the question), could be 1.98% every six months, or 0.3274% every month. But at the end of one year the compounded interest must be 4%. Other countries will have different regulations.
Monthly compounding earns more then quarterly. For example if your told your account earns 6% compounded monthly, then after 12 months you should earn 6.17% . If your account compounds quarterly, then after four quarters you should earn 6.14% .

That depends on whether you are getting 5% simple interest, or compound interest, and how often it is compounded. Simple interest is very easy to calculate; you just multiply. $500 at 5% earns 5% of $500 every year, which is $25, so in 20 years the interest earned is 20 x $25 or $500, for a total of $1,000. But if you put the money in a savings account in a bank, you get compound interest. It can be compounded annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily. The more often it is compounded, the more you earn. Nowadays you can get daily interest, but that is kind of complicated because it depends on whether you figure the interest for every single day, 365 days a year and 366 in a leap year, or the traditional banking custom of 360 days a year. For example, if you compound annually, every year your balance is multiplied by 1.05, so after 20 years you would have 500 x 1.0520, which is $1.326.65 to the nearest cent.
