Question

What is the total compound interest of a loan for $5,000 with an annual interest rate of 8 percent at the end of a two-year period? $400 $432 $832 $800

Answer 1

The formula to find compound interest is
A = P ( 1 + r/n )^nt
Use this to solve your problem.
A = 5,000 ( 1 + 0.08/1 )^1•2
A = 5,000 • 1.1664
A = 5,832

Now this question is only asking about the interest gained. To find this, subtract the original amount from the new amount.
5,832 - 5,000 = 832
Your answer is $832
