The image above represents capital recovery. To calculate capital recovery, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Present Amount or Worth (P), Interest Rate (i) and Number of Years (N).
The formula for calculating capital recovery:
A = P[i((1 + i)N)] / [((1 + i)N) – 1]
Where:
A = Annual Worth or Amount
P = Present Worth or Amount
i = Interest Rate
N = Number of Years
Let’s solve an example;
Find the annual worth when the present worth is 30, the interest rate is 0.2 and the number of years is 4.
This implies that;
P = Present Worth or Amount = 30
i = Interest Rate = 0.2
N = Number of Years = 4
A = P[i((1 + i)N)] / [((1 + i)N) – 1]
A = 30[0.2((1 + 0.2)4)] / [((1 + 0.2)4) – 1]
So, A = 30[0.2((1.2)4)] / [((1.2)4) – 1]
A = 30[0.2 x 2.0736] / [2.0736 – 1]
A = 30[0.41472] / [1.07359]
Then, A = 30 x 0.386
A = 11.58
Therefore, the capital recovery is ₦11.58.
