Suppose you deposited tk 10,000 on January 01,2012 at 12.50% interest rate for 1year,on July 01,2013 tk 15,000 at 12% interest rate for 6 months and on October 01,2013 tk 20,000 at 11.50% rate for 3 months (assume that the started interest rates are simple and annual). Suppose you withdrew all deposits (including due interests) on December 31,2013.Calculate the overall annual rate of interest you have received.
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Deposit for 1 year: 10000Deposit for 6 months tk. 15000= Deposit for 1 year: 7500
Deposit for 3 months tk. 20000= Deposit for 1 year: 5000
So, total interest = 10000*12.5%+7500*12%+5000*11.5%
=1250+900+575
=2725
So, overall annual rate of interest= 2725/(10000+7500+5000)= 12.11%
