Answer:

  • Amount: ₹5832
  • Interest: ₹832

Explanation:

You want the amount and interest earned by ₹5000 in an account paying 8% compounded annually for 2 years.

Amount

The value of the account is given by ...

A = P(1 +r)^t

where principal P is invested at annual rate r for t years.

A = ₹5000(1.08^2) = ₹5832

The value of the investment is ₹5832.

Interest

The interest earned is the difference between the account value and the initial principal amount:

I = P -A

I = ₹5832 -5000 = ₹832

The compound interest earned is ₹832.
