What is compound interest?

Compound interest is known to be the interest that is earned on a principal sum in addition to the accumulated interest previously. It is as a result of reinvesting interest.

To find the compound interest, the formula used is:

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

Where

P is the principal sum= $3500

r is the rate = 0.035

n is the compounding period = 12 months.

t is the time = 6 years.

Substituting them in the equation, we have:

A = 3500 ( 1 + 0.035/12)^12×6

Working out the one in the bracket and multiplying the exponent, we have:

A = 3500 (1.00291667)^72

Note: We got 72 by multiplying 12 by 6.

1.00291667 raised to the power of 72 = 1.23330133

A = 3500× 1.23330133 = $4,316.55

Ans: $4,316.55
