Answers
Here is your answer.I hope it is helpful for you
Answer:
The Amount received by Naresh after 6 months is 7803 ( which has principal 7500 + interest 303)
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount = Principal + Interest
Formula for Compound Interest calculated quarterly ,
Amount = P(1+(R/4)/100)^4n ; Where P denoted the Principal; R denotes the rate of Interest and n denotes the time period.
Given :
- Principal (P) = Rs 7500
- Rate of interest (R) = 8% per annum
- Time period (n) = 6 months.
Note that since the interest is compounded quarterly the time period should be converted in to quarters.
Therefore, n = 2/4 ( The 12 months of the year is converted in to 4 quarters with 3 months each. Since it is given that the time period of investment is 6 months, it contains 2 quarters).
Substituting the value of P, R, N in the formula we get,
Amount = 7500(1+(8/4)/100)^4(2/4)
Amount = 7500(1+2/100)^2
Amount = 7500(102/100)^2
Amount = 7500(51/50)^2
Amount = 7500((51/50)*(51/50))
Amount = 3(51*51)
Amount = 3(2601)
Amount = 7803
