We can apply the formula to calculate the interest amount
I = P x R x t where
A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
P = Principal Amount
I = Interest Amount
R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent
t = Time Period involved in years
For Tesla in 2006,
Principle amount = 10000
Rate of interest = 13.5 % ( As per the given graph for Tesla in 2006)
Time = 1 year
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2007 I = P x R x t
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2007 = 10000 x 13.5 x 1/100= 10000 x 135 x 1/10 x 100 = 10 x 135 = 1350
Total amount received by Aashay in 2007 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 10000 + 1350 = 11350
Again For Tesla in 2007,
Principle amount = 11350
Rate of interest = 14% ( As per the given graph for Tesla in 2007)
Time = 1 year
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2008 I = P x R x t
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2008 = 11350 x 14 x 1/100 = 1589
Total amount received by Aashay in 2008 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 11350+ 1589 = 12939
Hence, their interest = 12939 - 10000 = 2939
For Microsoft in 2006,
Principle amount = 10000
Rate of interest = 11.5 % ( As per the given graph for Microsoft in 2006)
Time = 1 year
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2007 I = P x R x t
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2007 = 10000 x 11.5 x 1/100= 10000 x 115 x 1/10 x 100 = 10 x 115 = 1150
Total amount received by Aashay in 2007 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 10000 + 1150 = 11150
Again For Microsoft in 2007,
Principle amount = 11150
Rate of interest = 16% ( As per the given graph for Microsoft in 2007)
Time = 1 year
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2008, I = P x R x t
The interest amount received by Aashay in 2008 = 11150 x 16 x 1/100 = 1784
Total amount received by Aashay in 2008 = Interest amount + Principal amount = 11150+ 1784 = 12934
Since, their interest = 12934 - 10000 = Rs. 2934
Hence, the difference between the interests earned = 2939 - 2934 = Rs. 5
If Aashay had invested the amount in Microsoft for both years then he would get Rs. 5 less.
