Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Compound interest is computed by multiplying the original principal amount by one plus the yearly interest rate multiplied by the number of compound periods minus by one. The whole original loan amount is then deducted from the final value. Compound interest is interest computed on a loan or deposit depending on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from prior periods.
