sorry the calculation listed should be

PV = RM5,000
i = 3% per month
n = 5 months
FV = 5000x(1+0.03)power 5 = RM5796.37

let say if we switch the case study

You have RM5,000 in a fixed deposit account, giving 3 return annually. If you don’t cash out the interest earned, how much if the total money accumulated after 5 month?

PV = RM5,000
i = 3% per month
n = 5 months
FV = 10000x(1+0.03)power 5 = RM5796.37

something missing and not sure what’s wrong with the calculation, anyone can help?

any different when calculating when one is compounded annually and one is monthly?

1USD = RM3.34
Found out how much RM3.34 depreciates across 8 months.
Then divide the value with RM5 to find how much USD you can have.

5/[3.34*(1-0.01)^8] = $1.38

Hi Fatduck

You are the first and only person who do the exercise.
You’ve got the right answer for no.1 and 2.

The correct answer for No. 3 is US$1.62

Think logically, if US dollar depreciates, you will get more US dollars from the lower exchange rate.

However, since you are the only respond I got, please provide your mailing address and I will post the prize to you. (use the contact form if you don’t have my email)

Helo there.. I just want to mention to u that the i = 3.7% per annum in example 1 that u have given is misleading. i punch all the value in the calculator and cant seem to find the answer. the actual value to be punch for I= o.o37 . THis is to those who didnt know.
Fv= 10000x(1+0.037)power 15=RM17245.72

Ans
1.107179.44
2. 23.83
3. US1.38
