The amount of simple interest during 'n' interest period is (where, i = interest rate based on the length of one interest period, p = principal) ?

Correct answer: A. p.i.n.

  • A. p.i.n.
  • B. p(1 + i.n)
  • C. p(1 + i)n
  • D. p(1 - i.n)

Explanation

Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal in every period, so total interest after n periods is I = pin. The accumulated amount would instead be p(1 + in).
