Annual Rate of Interest Offered by Two Finance Companies Over the Years.
Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 199) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it
= Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs
= Rs. 12.96 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one year on investing Rs. 12.96 lakhs in the year 1999
= Rs. [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs
= Rs. 14.256.
Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years
= Rs. (14.256 - 12) lakhs
= Rs. 2.256 lakhs
= Rs. 2,25,600.
Why 8% in first step turned into 10% in next step?
Can you please elaborate it.
