6. Present value using Compound Interest example ( Enter your problem )
  1. Find Future value (FV) Example
  2. Find Present value (C) Example
  3. Find Interest Rate (i) Example
  4. Find Time (n) Example

3. Find Interest Rate (i) Example





1. Find Interest Rate i = ?
Present value C = 5000, Time n = 2 Year, Future value FV = 6050,
Interest compounded = Year (1/year)
for Present value using Compound Interest method


Solution:
`C=5000`

`n=2` years (Number of periods)

`FV=6050` (Future value)

Now, Future value (Compound Interest) formula is
`FV=C*(1+i)^n`

`:.6050=5000*(1+i)^2`

`:.(6050)/(5000)=(1+i)^2`

`:.(1+i)^2=1.21`

`:.(1+i)=1.21^(1/2)`

`:.(1+i)=1.1`

`:.i=1.1-1`

`:.i=0.1`

`:.i=10 %` per year
2. Find Interest Rate i = ?
Present value C = 5000, Time n = 2 Year, Future value FV = 6050,
Interest compounded = Year (1/year)
for Present value using Compound Interest method


Solution:
`C=5000`

`n=2` years (Number of periods)

`FV=6050` (Future value)

Now, Future value (Compound Interest) formula is
`FV=C*(1+i)^n`

`:.6050=5000*(1+i)^2`

`:.(6050)/(5000)=(1+i)^2`

`:.(1+i)^2=1.21`

`:.(1+i)=1.21^(1/2)`

`:.(1+i)=1.1`

`:.i=1.1-1`

`:.i=0.1`

`:.i=10 %` per year
