(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Future value How much total interest is earned on the original deposit? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

Interest earned on the interest Hints References eBook & Resources Hint#1 ch 4 Proble

Explanation / Answer

We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

A = $ 5,500 *(1+8/100) ^ 8

= $ 5,500* 1.85093021

= $ 10,180.12

Total Interest on Original Deposit = Principal * Interest rate * Times

= $ 5,500 *8%*8

= $ 3,520.00

Interest Earned on Interest = ( Future Value - Principal Amount) - Total Interest on Original Deposit

= ( $10,180.12 - $ 5,500 ) - $ 3,520.00

= $ 1,160.12
