The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 is $5,307.99.

Compound Interest

Given Data

  • Principal = $5000
  • Rate = 0.75%
  • Time = 8 Years

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $5,000.00

I (interest) = $307.99

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 0.75/100

r = 0.0075 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.0075/1)^(1)(8)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.0075)^(8)

A = $5,307.99
