Bpp exam kit question
6y ago#1The interest is not compounded only once. It is compounded 4 times because the interest is 20% at the end of 4 years.
So if the interest is R per year, then 1.20 = (1+R)^4
So 1+R = fourth root of 1.20 = 1.0466
So R = 0.0466 (or 4.66%)
(I assume that you have watched my free lectures on this. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.)
I've watched the lectures yes and I understand the concept but I didn't understand the question. I understand it now, thank you.
6y ago#3You are welcome :-)
