Compound Interest
When a bank account pays compound interest, it pays interest not only on the principal amount that was deposited into the account, but also on the interest that has accumulated over time. Suppose you want to deposit some money into a savings account, and let the account earn compound interest for a certain number of years. The formula for calculating the balance of the account after a specified number of years is:
The terms in the formula are:
A is the amount of money in the account after the specified number of years.
P is the principal amount that was originally deposited into the account.
r is the annual interest rate.
n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded.
t is the specified number of years.
Write a
- The amount of principal originally deposited into the account
- The annual interest rate paid by the account
- The number of times per year that the interest is compounded (For example, if interest is compounded monthly, enter 12. If interest is compounded quarterly, enter 4.)
- The number of years the account will be left to earn interest
Once the input data has been entered, the program should calculate and display the amount of money that will be in the account after the specified number of years.

- When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forwardThe quadratic formula is used to solve a very specific type of equation, called aquadratic equation. These equations are usually written in the following form:ax2 + bx + c = 0The Quadratic Formula x = ( -b ± √( b^2 - 4ac ) ) / ( 2a ) Where a, b, and c are constants with a ≠ 0. (If a = 0, the equation is a linear equation.)The discriminant is the part of the formula in the square root. If the value of the discriminant is zero then the equation has a single real root. If the value of thediscriminant is positive then the equation has two real roots. If the value of thediscriminant is negative, then the equation has two complex roots.Write a program that finds the roots of the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula. Write a function named discriminant in the file, Disc.py, to calculate and return the discriminant of the formula. Let the main function call the discriminant function and then calculate the solution(s) of the equation. Do not calculate the solutions in the discriminant…arrow_forwardA pendulum is simply a weight attached to a fixed point, usually through a string or a rod, and it swings freely backward and forward. The period of a pendulum is the amount of time that it takes to go from one point to another as it swings. Length of pendulum SWING T = PERIOD of the swing The formula to compute the period (7) is the following: T = 2π g=9.8 m/sec² L is the arm length of pendulum in meters. The unit of the period (7) is seconds. Write a program that will generate a table that will show the period (7) for several pendulums with lengths (L) in the range 10cm ≤L≤ 100cm in increments of 2cm. Your code must: 1) include a user-define function that performs a single period calculation, use the following function prototype: void pendulumPeriod(float length, float *period) 2) display to the monitor the length and period of the pendulums in table format with a header and units. 3) save the lengths and period of the pendulums to a file.arrow_forward
- Summary Interest on a credit card's unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance. Suppose that netBalance is the balance shown in the bill, payment is the payment made, d1 is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2 is the number of days payment is made before billing cycle. Then, the average daily balance is: averageDailyBalance = (netBalance * d1 payme If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is: interest averageDailyBalance * 0.0152 Instructions Write a program that accepts as input netBalance, d1, payment, d2, and interest rate per month ( interestRate).arrow_forwardJAVA based program need helparrow_forwardSuppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account, and thenleave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years, you would like tohave $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen?You can use the following formula, which is known as the present value formula, to find out:The terms in the formula are as follows: [5 marks]• P is the present value, or the amount that you need to deposit today.• F is the future value that you want in the account. (In this case, F is $10,000.)• r is the annual interest rate.• n is the number of years that you plan to let the money sit in the account.Write a method named presentValue that performs this calculation. The method should accept the future value, annual interest rate, and number of years asarguments. It should return the present value, which is the amount that you need to deposit today.Demonstrate the method in a program that lets the user experiment with…arrow_forward

- Broken Cabins Problem Statement: There is an Office consisting of m cabins enumerated from 1 to m. Each cabin is 1 meter long. Sadly, some cabins are broken and need to be repaired. You have an infinitely long repair tape. You want to cut some pieces from the tape and use them to cover all of the broken cabins. To be precise, a piece of tape of integer length t placed at some positions will cover segments 5,5+1-sit-1. You are allowed to cover non-broken cabins, it is also possible that some pieces of tape will overlap. Time is money, so you want to cut at most k continuous pieces of tape to cover all the broken cabins. What is the minimum total length of these pieces? Input Format The first line contains three integers n,m and k(1sns10°, namsloº, Isksn) - the number of broken cabins, the length of the stick and the maximum number of pieces you can use The second line contains n integers bl,b2,bn (Isbism) - the positions of the broken cabins.

They have the following rules: An employee gets paid (hours worked) × (base pay), for each hour up to 40 hours. For every hour over 40, they get overtime = (base pay) × 1.5. If the number of hours is greater than 60, print an error message. Example: If an employee works for 45 hours, and his base pay is $8 , the he will get= (40 * 8)+ [5* (8 * 1.5)] = $380 Create a new class called StarkIndustry. Write a method that takes the base pay and hours worked as parameters, and prints the total pay or an error. Write a main method that calls this method for each of these employees: Employee No Base pay Hours Worked Employee 1 $7.20 35 Employee 2 $8.20 47 Employee 2 $10.50 73 You will have to submit StarkIndustry.java file.arrow_forwardIn Saudi Arabia, the Kudai Parking Area is a parking lot that is next to the Ajyad Police Station and close to the Power Plant.
