Sample Problems on
Compound Interest
1. What rate of interest compounded annually must be received if
an investment of Php5,400 made now will result in a receipt of
Php7,200 5 years hence?
2. What amount will be accumulated by Php4,100 in 10 years at 6%
compounded annually?
3. What effective annual interest rate corresponds to the following
situations?

4. How much should Engr. Cruz deposit now, if after 10 years, this
will amount to Php100,000. Interest rate is 12% compounded
semiannually?
5. If Php1,000 becomes Php5,734 after 15 years, when invested at
an unknown rate of interest compounded semi-annually,
determine the unknown nominal rate and corresponding effective
rate.

5% interest compounded continuously in a
savings account. Determine (a) how long will it
require for him to earn $5 (b) the equivalent
simple interest rate for 1 year of the bank.
2. Which is more advisable to invest Php5,000 for
five (5) years, to bank A that offers 5%
compounded continuously or to bank B that
offers 10% simple interest?
Banker’s Discount
Certain banks lend money in such a way that they
deduct the interest on the money. They actually don’t
lend you money you asked for. This type of computing
money is called banker’s discount. The money received
by the borrower after the discount has been deducted is
called proceeds.
