Compound Interest (Short-cut method)

Short-cut method:-
    In this method of calculating compound interest we have a formula which was derived in hope of making quicker calculations.

  Advantages of this method:-

1) It makes calculations quicker.
2) It is used in modern days.

  Disadvantages of this method:-

1) It is tougher when compared to Long Method.
2) It is very confusing and takes a long time to get digested.

How it is done?  

Formula:-
                                  
1) Amount = Principal( 1 + Rate )n
                                                                                          100
n is time period 

2) C.I = P[(1 +  R  )n  - 1]
                         100

Example Problems:- 
1)  Calculate the Amount & Interest on Rs.40000 at rate 5% for 3 years.
A) P = Rs. 40000
     R = 5%
     T = 3 years
   A = 40000 (1 +  5   ) 3
                           100
      = 40000 (  100 + 5  ) 3
                             100
      = 40000 ( 105( 105 ) ( 105 ) 
                       100     100      100
      = Rs. 46305

I = 46305 - 40000 = Rs. 6305

Note :- Its all about substituting right values is right formulas.
