Mr. Lalit invested  Rs. 5000  at a certain rate of interest, compounded annually for two years. At the end of first year it amounts to  Rs. 5325. Calculate

(i) The rate of interest

(ii) The amount at the end of second year, to the nearest rupee.

Solution

( i )  P = Rs. 5000,   T = 1 year,   A = Rs. 5325

   I = A - P

 I = 5325 - 5000 I = 325

So, the interest at the end of first year is Rs. 325

 

I = PRT100 R = I X 100P X T R = 325 X 1005000 X 1 R = 32500 5000   =  6.5 %

So, the rate of interest at the end of the first year is  6.5 %.

 

( ii ) The amount at the end of the first year will be the principal for the second year.

P = Rs. 5325,  T = 1 year,   R = 6.5 %

 

I = PRT100 I = 5325 X 6.5 X 1100 I = 346.125A = P + I A = 5325 + 346.125 A = 5671.125 A  RS. 5671

So, the amount at the end of the second year is  Rs. 5671.

A page from the savings bank account of Mrs. Ravi is given below.

April 15th   By cheque   3500 11800

August 13th   By cheque   1000 11300
August 25th   To self 7400   3900
September 6th 2006   By cash   2000 5900

She closed the account on  30th  September,  2006. Calculate the interest Mrs. Ravi
earned at the end of  30th  September,  2006  at  4.5%  per annum interest. Hence, find the
amount she receives on closing the account.

Solution

Since the interest is earned on the minimum balance between  10th  day and the last day of the month as per entries, we have

Minimum balance for April           = Rs. 8300

Minimum balance for May            = Rs. 7600

Minimum balance for June           = Rs. 10300

Minimum balance for July            = Rs. 10300

Minimum balance for August        = Rs. 3900

Minimum balance for September  = Rs. 0

Total balance = Rs. 40400

 Total amount qualifying for interest = Rs. 40400

 Principle for  1  month 112 year  = Rs. 40400,

Rate of interest = 4.5 %  per annum

 Interest = Rs. 40400 x 4.5 x 112100 = Rs. 151.50

Amount = Balance in the account in last month  +  Interest

            = 5900  +  151.50

            = Rs. 6051.50

Thus,  Mrs.  Ravi receives  Rs. 6051.50  on closing the account.

Question

In what time will  Rs. 1500  yield  Rs. 496.50  as compound  nterest at  10%  per annum compounded annually?

Solution

Given    P = Rs. 1500,     I = 496.50,     R = 10 %

A = P + I

 A = Rs. 1500 + Rs. 496.50 = Rs. 1996.50

A = P  1 + R100 n 1996.50 = 1500  1 + 10100 n1996.501500 =  1 + 110 n1996.501500 =  1 x 101 x 10 + 110 n1996.501500 =   10 10 + 110 n1996.501500 =  1110 n1996.501500 =  1.1 n 1.331 =   1.1 n ( 1.1 )3 =  1.1 n n = 3

Question

Mohan has a recurring deposit account in a bank for  2  years at  6%  p.a. simple interest. If he gets  Rs. 1200  as interest at the time of maturity, find:

(i) the monthly installment

(ii) the amount of maturity

Solution

(i)  I = Rs. 1200,   n = 2 x 12 = 24 months,     r =  6%

I = P x n  n + 1 2 x 12 x r100 1200 =  P x 24 x 2524 x 6100 1200 = P x 32 p = 1200 x 23 P = Rs. 800

So the monthly instalment is  Rs. 800.

 

( ii ) Total sum deposited = P x n  =  Rs. 800 x 24  =  Rs. 19200

 Amount of maturity =  Total sum deposited + Interest on it

                                 = Rs. 19200 + Rs. 1200

                                 = Rs. 20400
