Sneha deposits Rs. $2500$ per month in a bank for $48$ months under a recurring deposit scheme. If she is entitled to get Rs. $150000$ as maturity value, find the rate of interest per annum.

maturity value of recurring deposits banking maths

  1. $6\%$

  2. $8\%$

  3. $10\%$

  4. $12\%$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the rate of interest per annum be $r\%$.
$P =$ Rs. $2500, n = 48$ months
Interest $=$ $\dfrac{Pn(n+1)r}{2400}=\dfrac{2500\times48(48+1)r}{2400}= 2540r$
Maturity amount $ = 2500 \times 48 + 2450r = 120000 + 2450r$
$\Rightarrow 150000 - 120000 = 2450r$
$\Rightarrow 30000 = 2450r$
$\Rightarrow r = 12.24\%$

maturity value of recurring deposits banking maths

  1. Rs $54548$

  2. Rs $48884$

  3. Rs $84448$

  4. Rs $44888$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given, principal Amount $(P)$ $=$ Rs. $50000$  
Rate of Interest Amount $(r)$ $= 14\% = 0.14  $
Number of Period $(t)$ $= 1$ year  
Compounded Interest $(n)$ $= 4$ (quarterly)
Maturity value $=$ $P\times \left (1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$
$=$ $50000\times \left (1+\dfrac{0.14}{1}\right)^{4}$
$=$ Rs. $84448$

If the account statement states that the interest is compounded annually then n = ?

maturity value of recurring deposits banking maths

  1. $1$

  2. $2$

  3. $3$

  4. $4$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$A=P(1+\cfrac{r}{100})^n$

Here $n=$ no. of interest periods
If interest is compounded annually
$\implies$ no. of interest period $1\times 1=1$
$\implies n=1$

The maturity value of a R.D Account is Rs. $16,176$. If the monthly installment is Rs. $400$ and the rate of interest is $8$ $\%$. Find the time period of this R.D account.

maturity value of recurring deposits banking maths

  1. $2$ years

  2. $3$ years

  3. $4$ years

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is given that

Maturity values $=$ Rs. $16,176$
Monthly installment $=$ Rs. $400$
Rate of interest $=8\%$

Let the time be $x$ months
$\therefore$ Qualifying amount $=\dfrac {400\times (x\times x+1)}{2}=200(x^2+x)$

Now, S.I. $=\dfrac {200(x^2+x)\times 8\times 1}{100\times 12}=\dfrac {2(x^2+x)\times 2}{3}=\dfrac {4}{3}(x^2+x)$

Also, Principal $=$ Rs. $400\times x$

Therefore, $ 400x+\dfrac {4}{3}(x^2+x)=16176$

$\Rightarrow 1200x+4x^2+4x=48528$

$\Rightarrow 4x^2+1204x-48528=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2+301x-12132=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-36)(x+337)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=36$ or $x=-337$

Since the time cannot be negative, we have $x=36$.

The time of RD account is $36$ months or $3$ years.

maturity value of recurring deposits banking maths

  1. Rs.$8412$

  2. Rs.$8421$

  3. Rs.$2481$

  4. Rs.$1234$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the monthly installment be $P$.

Given, $P=200$, $n=36$, $r=11\%$
Interest $=\dfrac {Pn(n+1)r}{2400}$$=\dfrac {200\times 36 \times 37\times 11}{2400}$$=1221$
We know, maturity amount $=(Pn+1221)$$=(200\times 36+1221)$$=$ Rs. $8421$
