Ans. $167,99+. COMPOUND INTEREST. § 193. Compound Interest is when the interest on a sum of money becoming due, and not being paid, is added to the principal, and the interest then calculated on this amount, as on a new principal. For example, suppose I were to borrow of Mr. Wilson $200 for one year, at 6 per cent. and at the end of the year pay him neither the interest nor principal. Now if Mr. Wilson should add the interest $12 to the principal $200, making $212, and charge me with interest on this sum till I paid him, this would be Compound Interest, because it is interest upon interest. RULE. Calculate the interest to the time at which it becomes due: then add it to the principal and calculate the interest on the amount as on a new principal: add the interest again to the principal and calculate the interest as before: do the same for all the times at which payments of interest become due: from the last result subtract the principal, and the remainder will be the compound interest.
