A. $94,38,4+. 12. What is the compound interest of $500 for 3 yrs. 4 mo. A. $107,418+. 13. What is the difference between the simple and compound interest of $200 for 3 yrs.?-22032. For 4 yrs. 6 mo. ?-60702. For 2 yrs. 8 ino. 15 da. -17706. A. $10,044.

As the amount of $2 is twice as much as $1, $4, 4 times as much, &e., hence, we may make a table containing the amount of the 1£, or $1, for several years, by which the amount of any sum may be easily found for the

same time.

Therefore, he might have $1,92 months; and he may keep $14, part as long, that is, of 92 months, which is 82÷14,6 mo. 131 da., Ans.

Q. Hence, to find the mean tiine of payment, what is the

RULE?

A. Multiply each payment by the time, and the sum of these several products, divided by the sum of the payments, will be the answer.

Note.-This rule proceeds on the supposition, that what is gained by keeping the money after it is due, is equal to what is lost by paying it before it is due. But this is not exactly true, for the gain is equal to the interest, while the loss is equal only to the discount, which is always less than the interest. However, the error is so trifling, in most cases which occur in business, as not to make any material difference in the result.
