Compound Amount Calculation

This problem requires calculating the future value of an investment using the compound interest formula.

Compound Interest Formula

The formula for calculating the final amount (A) with compound interest is:

$ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} $

Where:

  • $P$ = Principal amount (initial investment) = Rs. 4500
  • $r$ = Annual interest rate = 10% or 0.10
  • $n$ = Number of times interest is compounded per year = 1 (annually)
  • $t$ = Number of years = 5

Applying the Formula

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$ A = 4500 \left(1 + \frac{0.10}{1}\right)^{1 \times 5} $

Simplify the expression:

$ A = 4500 (1 + 0.10)^5 $

$ A = 4500 (1.10)^5 $

Calculation Steps

  1. Calculate $(1.10)^5$: $1.10^5 = 1.61051$
  2. Multiply the result by the principal amount: $A = 4500 \times 1.61051$
  3. Calculate the final amount: $A = 7247.295$

Final Amount

Rounding the result to two decimal places, the amount to be paid at the end of 5 years is Rs. 7,247.30.
