Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the interest rate on the principal amount. In this case, RM 100,000. Whereas, compound interest is calculated by multiplying the interest rate on the amount borrowed along with the interest accrued so far. For example, in case of Bank B, for the year 2 interest of RM 11,000 is calculated by multiplying interest rate of 10% with Principal Amount of RM 100,000 and Interest amount of RM 10,000 for year 1.

1. The Annual interest is fixed and does not fluctuate because the cascading effect of interest on interest is absent.
2. The overall interest of Bank A is less compared to Bank B.
