Compound Interest

8/3/2019 3.1_bzpc4e

16/21

Compound interest is interest computed on your original investment

as well as on any accumulated interest. The sum of money is called

the principal, P. It is invested at an annual percentage rate r, and

compounded once a year.

Sometimes interest is compounded semiannually, monthly, quarterly, etc. This introduces

the variable for the number of compounding periods per year. The formula is then adjusted

to take this into acc

n

ount the number of compunding periods in a year. If there are compuonding

periods per year, in each time period the interest rate is = and there are time periods in years.
