Best Answer

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.
