Answer :

In order to acquire a total of £1379. 2 from compound interest on a principal of £1,200 compounded once per year for two years, an interest rate of 7.207% per year is needed.

Formula for compound interest is –

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where, A = Amount at the end of investment

             P = Principal Amount or amount invested

       r = rate of interest

      n = number of times interest applications per period.

       t = number of time periods elapsed

Here in the question A is £1379. 2

          P = £1,200

          t = 2 years

          n = 1 (annually)

Solving for rate r as a decimal

r = n[(A/P)1/nt - 1]

r = 1 × [(1,379.20/1,200.00)1/(1)(2) - 1]

r = 0.0720696

Then convert r to R as a percentage

R = r * 100

R = 0.0720696 * 100

R = 7.207% per year
