Compound vs ‘Simple’ interest
This rarely comes up in GCSE exams, but you should appreciate
the difference between compound and simple interest.
If the principal of a bond is £1000, and the interest rate 10% p.a.,
find the value after 5 years using:
Compound interest:
Increase based on new value each year.
