What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest on a loan or deposit calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

  • I = Future interest
  • P = Principle
  • R = Rate
  • n = Total time

From the question,

Given:

  • P = $8704.56
  • r  = 4%
  • n = 2×8 = 16 semiannually

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • I = [8704.56(1+4/100)¹⁶-8704.56]
  • I = 8704.56(1.04)¹⁶-8704.56
  • I = 16303.48-8704.56
  • I = $7598.89
