Model 2 Formula for simple interest? Example: simple interest earned on a deposit of $4,000 at 5% for 120 days
1. Convert 120 days to a fractional part of a year. 120/365= 1/3 2. Write the equation I = $4,000 x 0.05 x 1/3 ( or 0.33) 3. Solve the equation. I=66.67
$5,000 would grow in ten years at 6% compounded semiannually?
Look up $1.00 at 3% for twenty years and multiply by $5,000. According to the chart $1.00 at 3% for twenty years is 1.8061112. When you multiply that number by $5,000 you get $9,030.56.
