When interest is to be calculated on cash accounts, &c where partial payments are made; multiply the several balances into the days they are at interest, then multiply the sum of these products by the rate on the dollar, and divide the last product by 365, and you will have the whole interest due on the account, &c.

EXAMPLES.

Lent Peter Trusty, per bill on demand, dated 1st of June, 1800, 2000 dollars, of which I received back the 19th of August, 400 dollars; on the 15th of October, 600 dollars; on the 11th of December, 400 dollars; on the 17th of February, 1801, 200 dollars; and on the 1st of June, 400 dollars; how much interest is due on the bill, reckoning at 6 per cent. ?

365)23316,00(63,879 Ans. 63 87 9+ The following Rule for computing interest on any note, or obligation, when there are payments in part, or endorsements, was established by the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, in 1784.

RULE.

"Compute the interest to the time of the first

ment; if that be one year or more from the time the interest commenced, add it to the principal, and deduct the `payment from the sum total. If there be after payments made, compute the interest on the balance due to the next payment, and then deduct the payment as above; and in like manner from one payment to another, till all the payments are absorbed; provided the time between one payment and another be one year or more. But if any payment be made before one year's interest hath accrued, then compute the interest on the principal sum due on the obligation for one year, add it to the principal, and compute the interest on the sum paid, from the time it was paid, up to the end of the year; add it to the sum paid, and deduct that sum from the principal and interest added as above.*

"If any payments be made of a less sum than the interest arisen at the time of such payment, no interest is to be computed but only on the principal sum for any period." Kirby's Reports, page 49.

EXAMPLES.

A bond, or note, dated January 4th, 1797, was given for 1000 dollars, interest at 6 per cent. and there were payments endorsed upon it as follows, viz.

1st payment February 19, 1798.

3d payment November 14, 1799

*If a year does not extend beyond the time of final settlement; but if it does, then find the amount of the principal sum due on the obligation, up to the time of settlement, and likewise find the amount of the sum paid, from the time it was paid, up to the time of final settlement, and deduct this amount from the amount of the principal.

RULE II.

Established by the Courts of Law in Massachusetts for computing interest on notes, &c. on which partial payments have been endorsed.

"Compute the interest on the principal sum, from the time when the interest commenced to the first time when a payment was made, which exceeds either alone or in conjunction with the preceding payment (if any) the interest at that time due: add that interest to the principal, and from the sum subtract the payment made at that time, together with the preceding payment (if any) and the remainder forms a new principal; on which compute and subtract the payments as upon the first principal, and proceed in this manner to the time of final settlement."
