To calculate the interest for 1/2 a month over a period of 8 years, we first need to calculate the total number of months in 8 years:
Total number of months = 8 years x 12 months/year = 96 months
Next, we can calculate the interest for half a month:
Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
Where:
- Principal = $90,900.00
- Rate = 8.25% (annual interest rate)
- Time = 0.5/12 years (half a month, expressed in years)
Rate needs to be converted to a monthly rate, so we divide it by 12:
Rate = 8.25% / 12 = 0.6875% (monthly interest rate)
Time needs to be expressed in years, so we divide it by 12:
Time = 0.5/12 years
Now we can calculate the interest:
Interest = $90,900.00 x 0.006875 x 0.0416667
Interest = $25.08 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Therefore, the interest for 1/2 a month on a principal of $90,900.00 with an annual interest rate of 8.25% over a period of 8 years is $25.08.
