Q:

Compounding interest means interest accrues

A) at variable rates throughout the term B) more quickly than simple interest
C) more slowly than simple interest D) at the same rate as simple interest
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) more quickly than simple interest

Explanation:

Compounding interest means interest accrues on the interest charged and the principal amount each period the interest is charged.

Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate raised to the number of compound periods minus one.The total initial amount of the loan is then subtracted from the resulting value.

The formula for calculating compound interest is:

[P (1 + i)n] – P

= P [(1 + i)n – 1]

(Where P = Principal, i = nominal annual interest rate in percentage terms, and n = number of compounding periods.)


Take a three-year loan of Rs. 10,000 at an interest rate of 5% that compounds annually. What would be the amount of interest? In this case, it would be:

Rs. 10,000 [(1 + 0.05)3] – 1

= 10,000 [1.157625 – 1]

= Rs. 1,576.25.

Q:

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

A) One question you should always ask yourself: “Am I pleased with the results?” B) Always ask yourself this question: “Am I pleased with the results?
C) Always ask yourself a question like: “Am I pleased with the results?” D) One question you should always ask yourself is: “Am I pleased with the results?”
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) One question you should always ask yourself: “Am I pleased with the results?”

Explanation:

The second would employ a comma, or semi-colon, and not a colon so it is not properly punctuated.

 

The third sentence would not be correct because it uses 'like', usually used for comparison. Since you are not comparing two questions, it would not be appropriate.

 

The fourth sentence has 'is' before the colon, which is a implies declaration and not listing. So, again, it would not be appropriate.

 

Hence, the first sentence, however, is punctuated correctly.
