Calculate the compound interest on principal amount Rs 50,000 for 1 year compounded half-yearly at rate of 10% per annum.

Answers (1)

Given,

Principal, P =Rs.50000, Rate, R = 10% per annum compounded half-yearly for 1 year.

Now, there are two half years in a year. Therefore compounding has to be 2 times.

And rate = half of 10% = 5% half yearly.

Therefore, the required amount = 50000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{2} = Rs 55125

And Compound Interest, C.I. = Amount - Principal

                                              = Rs. (55125 - 50000)

                                             = Rs. 5125
