Simple interest
= Principal x Rate x Time / 12
In Simple interest, interest is always calculated on the principal amount and interest on interest is not charged
So, Simple interest in 11th Year
= $2,900 x 8% x 1 / 12 ( Since interest is calculated for one year only, year is taken as 1)
= $232
Compound interest for a year
= Principal x ( 1 + Rate of interest) ^ Number of years - Principal x ( 1 + Rate of interest) ^ (Number of years - 1)
In the case of compound interest, interest on interest is alos calculated which results in multiple times charging of interest
The above equation [Principal x ( 1 + Rate of interest) ^ Number of years] gives future value of the Principal if it is invested for a specified period. So, to calculate the interest for 11th year, we need to calculate the future value at the end of 11th year and deduct future value at the end of 10th year so that interest for the year is calculated
= $2,900 x ( 1.08 ^ 11) - $2,900 x ( 1.08 ^ 10 )
= $ 6,761.75 - $ 6,260.88
= $500.87
So, Excess interest received over simple interest
= Compound interest – Simple interest
= $ 500.87 - $232.00
= $268.87
So, as per above calculations, option A is the correct option
