What will be the compound interest on ` 4,000.00 for 2 years at the rate of 5% Per annum ?

` 410
` 420
` 421
` 427

The correct answer is (c) `421.

The compound interest is calculated by using the following formula:

$C.I. = P(1 + r/n)^nt$

where:

  • $C.I.$ is the compound interest
  • $P$ is the principal amount
  • $r$ is the interest rate
  • $n$ is the number of times interest is compounded per year
  • $t$ is the number of years

In this case, we have:

  • $P = 4000$
  • $r = 5\%$
  • $n = 2$
  • $t = 2$

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

$C.I. = 4000(1 + 0.05/1)^2(2)$

$C.I. = 4000(1.05)^4$

$C.I. = 421.04$

Therefore, the compound interest on 4,000.00 for 2 years at the rate of 5% Per annum is421.
