Concept of Compound Interest
Compound Interest:
            When the interest is calculated for every period on the total previous amount, then the total amount of interest gained on all the periods is called compound interest.

Let       Principal = P
            Rate of interest = r
            No. of years = n
            After 1st year,             interest    
            After 1st year, Amount  

            Now principal becomes,
                                    Principal  
            After 2nd year,            interest      
            After 2nd year, Amount   
                                                     
                                                     
            and so on.
            Amount after n-years is


           
Hence
