    Compound interest | 
  2019-05-28 | 
  
    | 
  From Kenneth: Hello:
  
Is compound interest on $1.00 for one year the same as simple interest on 
$1.00 for one year?
  
Compound interest would be $1.01, and I believe the same amount would be
the same at simple interest. Answered by Penny Nom. |

  From Kenneth: Hello:
I have a question regarding the following compound interest and future value 
calculation. 
  
Year 1 P + rP equals balance after the first year.  
Year 2 (P + rP) + r(P + rP) equals balance after the second year. 
Year 3 ? equals balance after the third year.
  
This question is in two parts. 
  
1. What would follow for year three? 
  
2. I know that a pattern will develop. What will it be so that I can determine
the extended pattern for following years ? Answered by Penny Nom. |

  From Kenneth: Let's say that an investor has $1000.00 to invest for 3 years at a rate of 5% at 
compound interest. Here is the formula:
  
M = 1000(1 + 0.05)^3 = $1157.62
  
If I want to change 1000(1 + 0.05) to (1000 + 0.05*1000) three times in a 
calculation instead of using (1 +0.05)^3, how would this be done?
  
I cannot get (1000 + 0.05*1000) + (1000 + 0.05*1000) + (1000 + 0.05*1000) to 
equal $1157.62.
  
I know that 1000(1.05)(1.05(1.05) will produce the answer, but I want to try to 
use the above non-factored calculation. Answered by Penny Nom. |
