Simple or compound interest?

How big is the interest difference between simple and compound interest?

compound interest

year 1: € 2,- x 1,10 = € 2,20

year 2: € 2,20 x 1,10 = € 2,42

Richard has € 4.000,- on his savings account on 1/1/2019 and the interest is 5%.
How much will be on his savings account on 31/12/2022?

1. € 4.600
2. € 4.631
3. € 4.800
4. € 4.862

compound interest

4.000 x 1,05 = 4.200

4.200 x 1,05 = 4.410

4.410 x 1,05 = 4.630,50

4.630,50 x 1,05 = 4.862,03

Richard has € 4.000,- on his savings account on 1/1/2019 and the interest is 5%.
How much will be on his savings account on 31/12/2052?
Do you feel like calculating this?

1. Yes
2. No

compound interest

4.000 x 1,05 = 4.200

4.200 x 1,05 = 4.410

4.410 x 1,05 = 4.630,50

4.630,50 x 1,05 = 4.862,03

4.000 x ( 1,05 ) ^ 4 = 4.862,03

compound interest

End amount = 4.000 x (1,05)^4 = 4.862,03

End amount = 4.000 x (1,05)^34 = 21.013,39

Formula 

E = B x (1+p)^t

compound interest

year 1: € 2,- x 1,10 = € 2,20

year 2: € 2,20 x 1,10 = € 2,42

End amount = 2 x (1,10)^2 = 2,42

Formula 

E = B x (1+p)^t

Insurance

Phone theft insurance. 30 students in class, chance of stolen phone is 10%, loss € 400,-.
What premium should the teacher minimally ask?
( no euro sign, dots or decimals, so f.e. 50 )

Number of phones stolen = 10% x 30 = 3

Total damage = 3 x 400 = 1.200

Premium = 1.200 / 30 = € 40,-

Would you take the phone insurance for € 40,-?

1. Yes
2. No
