Compound Interest:: Log A Log P + Tlog (1+ R)
Compound Interest:: Log A Log P + Tlog (1+ R)
Compound Interest:: Log A Log P + Tlog (1+ R)
Basic formula:
Example:
What would the amount received by A lending Rs 100 @ 10% C.I for 2 yrs.
From here, we can rewrite the formula as A = P ( 1 + r)^t [ remember here, r will be the decimal
value instead of percentage form]
Now, we can use this formula for calculation when the t is small, say 2 or 3yrs. But if the
time period is big, we need to introduce the concept of log.
Now, a basic function of log is that, when we change an equation into log form, some
functions are important to remember for compound interest chapter. It is
Say, an equation x= (y)^z. When we introduce log, this equation will be rewritten as
LogX = zlog y
a= b*c
Loga = log b + log c
Likewise, if the equation is x = y * ( 1 + .05)^10
This can be rewritten as log x = log Y + 10 log ( 1.05) [ multiplication will become
addition,
likewise a division function become
substruction]
Sol: A = 720.325
A = P( 1 + r)^t
720.325 = p( 1+ .03)^4
P *( 1.05)^t = 2P
Find the number of years in which a sum of money will triple itself @ 4% CI.
A = P ( 1 + r)^t
3P= P( 1+r)^T
The difference between SI AND CI on a sum of money put out for 5 yrs at 3% was 46.8. Find
the sum.
Sol: p = 100, r = .03, t = 5yrs
A = p(1.03)^5
DIFFERENCE PRINCIPLE
.87 100
46.8 X
X = 100 * 46.8/.87
= 100*53.79= Rs 5379.
S. Sen borrow Rs 6000 from the money lender but could not repay the loan. The money
lender wants Rs 7500 from him. What rate of interest the money lender is demanding.
Sol:
A man left Rs 18000 with the direction that it should be divided in such a way that his son
aged 9, 12and 15 yrs should receive the same amount when they reach the age of 25. If the
rate of interest is 7/2 % p.a What should each son receive when he is 25yrs old .
Sol:
