# Find CI when interest is compounded annually but Rates are different

Covid-19 has led the world to go through a phenomenal transition .

E-learning is the future today.

Stay Home , Stay Safe and keep learning!!!

To find CI when interest is compounded annually but rates are different, we use the following formula :

A = P( 1 + R1)( 1 + R2)... ( 1 + Rn)

Where P = Principal
R1,R2,R3...interest rates percent for different years.

Examples :

1) Roger bought a refrigerator for $4000 on credit. The rate of interest for the first year is 5% and of the second year is 15%. How much will it cost him if he pays the amount after two years. Solution: Here, P =$ 4000, R1 = 5% p.a and R2 = 15% p.a.

∴ Amount after 2 years = P( 1 + R1)( 1 + R2)

= 4,000 x ( 1 + 0.05) ( 1 + 0.15)

= 4000 x ( 1.05) ( 1.15 )

= 4000 x 1.2075

= $4830 ∴ The refrigerator will cost$ 4830 to Roger.

2) Find the amount of $12,500 for 2 years compounded annually, the rate if interest being 15 % for the 1st year and 16 % for the second year. Here, P =$12,500 , R1 = 15 % and R2 = 16 %

∴ Amount after 2 years = P( 1 + R1)( 1 + R2)

= 12,500x ( 1 + 0.15) ( 1 + 0.16)

= 12,500 x ( 1.15) ( 1.16 )

= 12,500 x 1.334

= $16,675 ∴ Amount =$16,675
