This document discusses compound interest, which is interest calculated on both the principal amount and accumulated interest over time. Compounding makes a significant difference in the final investment amount. Examples are provided to demonstrate compound interest calculations using the compound interest formula. The rule of 72 is also explained as a way to estimate doubling time for investments based on the interest rate. Students complete activities to practice applying compound interest calculations.

- 2. Compound Interest An investment earns compound interest when the interest from each time period is added to the principal and earns interest in subsequent time periods. Because the principal grows, the interest earned grows as well. Compounding makes a significant difference in the final amount an investment is worth. Although compounding interest earns you more money when you are investing, compounding interest costs you more when you borrow.

- 7. Rule of 72 The rule of 72 states that to find the approximate time that an amount of money will take to double, divide 72 by the rate (r). To find the rate needed for money to double in a specific time frame, you divide 72 by the number of years. For example, $100 invested at 6% compounded annually would double to $200 in approximately 12 years (72 ÷ 6 = 12).
