To calculate the rate of interest earned on your investment, you can use the formula for the rate of return:
Rate of Return (
)
=
rac{(Ending Value – Initial Value)}{Initial Value} imes 100
In this case:
- Initial Value = $1800
- Ending Value = $1924.62
Now, plug in the values:
Rate of Return = rac{(1924.62 - 1800)}{1800} imes 100
Calculating the difference:
1924.62 - 1800 = 124.62
Now, substitute this back into the formula:
Rate of Return = rac{124.62}{1800} imes 100
Calculating the division:
Rate of Return = 0.0692333 imes 100
Finally, multiplying by 100 gives you:
Rate of Return ≈ 6.92%
So, the rate of interest earned on your investment of $1800 that is now worth $1924.62 after one year is approximately 6.92%.
