- 13 When interest is calculated for periods shorter than a year, the formula to calculate interest is: Multiple Choice I = P × R × T, where I = interest calculated, P = principal, R = annual interest rate, and T = number of months. I = P × R × T, where I = interest calculated, P = principal, R = annual interest rate, and T = (number of months ÷ 12). I = P × R × T, where I = interest calculated, P = principal, R = monthly interest rate, and T = (number of months ÷ 12). I = (MV − P)/T, where I = interest calculated, MV = maturity value, P = principal and T = number of months.arrow_forwardAssume an effective compound interest rate i= 3% per annum.
