NOTE: FV = future Value,

PV = Present Value
r = interest rate
n = time or years
P = principal
All values are in GHS
Q1.a. FV = p0 (1 + ), = 1000 (1 + 0.04)20,
FV = 1000 (2.191) = 2192.12
Therefore, interest is equal to FV Principal
Interest = 2191 1000 = 1191
b. Interest = p x r x t, annually interest = 1000 x 0.04 x 1 = 40
Total interest = 1000 x 0.04 x 20 = 800
C. The difference in answer a) and b) is that, in a) the interest component is reinvested with the
principal and accumulated to GHS 1191, while in b) the interest does not reinvest but only
accumulate to GHS 800.
