Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Core idea and direct formula

  • Amount means the total money after interest is added.
  • Principal means the original sum of money.
  • Compound interest is the extra money earned over the principal.
2

2. Amount when rates are different in successive years

  • When the rate changes from year to year, each year is treated separately.
  • The first year's amount becomes the principal for the next year.
  • Multiply the yearly growth factors in order.
3

3. Finding principal, rate, and time

  • The formula can be rearranged to find principal, rate, or time.
  • If amount and time are known, principal can be found by dividing back through the growth factor.
  • If principal and amount are known, the rate can be found by comparing the growth factor to a known power.
4

4. Age and sharing problems

  • Age-based sharing problems depend on the number of years left until a common target age.
  • Each person's investment grows for a different number of years.
  • The person with fewer years to grow needs a larger initial share if both final amounts are equal.
