For 1st year P = 100 I = (100 × 10 × 1)/100 = 10 (S.I.) amount = 100 + 10 = 110 | For 1st year P = 100 I = (100 × 10 × 1)/100 = 10 (C.I.) amount = 100 + 10 = 110 | ||
For 1st year Compound interest is equal to the simple interest | |||
For 2nd year P = 100 I = (100 × 10 × 1)/100 = 10 (S.I.) amount = 110 + 10 = 120 | For 2nd year P = 110 I = (110 × 10 × 1)/100 = 11(S.I.) amount = 100 + 11 = 121 | ||
For 2nd year Compound interest is more than the simple interest | |||
For 3rd year P = 100 I = (100 × 10 × 1)/100 = 10 (S.I.) amount = 120 + 10 = 130 | For 3rd year P = 121 I = (121 × 10 × 1)/100 = 12.1 (S.I.) amount = 121 + 12.1 = 133.1 | ||
Every year, compound interest increases, but the simple interest remains unchanged | |||
