Given an initial balance of 3000,
an interest rate of 5%,
and time of 2
Calculate the Accumulated Balance using Compound Interest:
Accumulated Value = Principal x (1 + i)time
Accumulated Value = 3000 x (1 + 0.05)2
Accumulated Value = 3000 x (1.05)2
Accumulated Value = 3000 x 1.1025
Total Interest Earned = Accumulated Value - Principal
Total Interest Earned = 3307.5 - 3000
Total Interest Earned = 307.5
Interest per Period = | Interest Earned |
t |
Interest per Period = | 307.5 |

Interest per period = 153.75
