Uniform Rate of Growth and Depreciation

We will discuss here about the principle of compound interest in the combination of uniform rate of growth and depreciation.

If a quantity P grows at the rate of r1% in the first year, depreciates at the rate of r2% in the second year and grows at the rate of r3% in the third year then the quantity becomes Q after 3 years, where

Take r100 with positive sign for each growth or appreciation of r% and r100 with negative sign for each depreciation of r%.


Solved examples on the principle of compound interest in the uniform rate of depreciation:

1. The present population of a town is 75,000. The population increases by 10 percent is the first year and decreases by 10% in the second year. Find the population after 2 years.

Solution:

Here, initial population P = 75,000, population increase for the first year = r1% = 10% and decrease for the second year = r2% = 10%.

Population after 2 years:

Q = P(1 + r1100)(1 - r2100)

⟹ Q = Present population(1 + r1100)(1 - r2100)

Q = 75,000(1 + 10100)(1 - 10100)

Q = 75,000(1 + 110)(1 - 110)

Q = 75,000(1110)(910)

⟹ Q = 74,250

Therefore, the population after 2 years = 74,250


2. A man starts a business with a capital of $1000000. He incurs a loss of 4% during the first year. But he makes a profit of 5% during the second year on his remaining investment. Finally, he makes a profit of 10% on his new capital during the third year. Find his total profit at the end of three years.

Solution:

Here, initial capital P = 1000000, loss for the first year = r1% = 4%, gain for the second year = r2% = 5% and gain for the third year = r3% = 10%

Q = P(1 - r1100)(1 + r2100)(1 + r3100)

⟹ Q = $1000000(1 - 4100)(1 + 5100)(1 + 10100)

Therefore, Q = $1000000 × 2425 × 2120 × 1110

⟹ Q = $200 × 24 × 21 × 11

⟹ Q = $1108800

Therefore, profit at the end of three years = $1108800 - $1000000

                                                          = $108800
