Compound Interest
F = P(1 + i)N
IC = F - P = P(1 + i)N - P
From the previous example: F=$133.1 and Ic = $100(1 + 0.1)3 - $100 = $33.10

You want to buy a new computer, but you are $1000 short of the amount
you need. Your aunt has agreed to lend you the amount you need
provided you pay her $1200 two years from now. She compounds
interest monthly. Or you may go to a bank and get a loan. However, a
loan processing fee of $20 is applied, which will be included in the loan
amount. The bank is expecting $1220 two years from now on monthly
compounded interest.
(a) What monthly rate is your aunt charging for the loan? What is the bank
charging?
(b) What effective annual rate is your aunt/ bank charging?
(c) Which option is better for you?
