a) After t years initial investment of RM15,000 would have value:

"15 000*(1+0.07\/4)^{4t}=300000"

which means that:

"1.0175^{4t}=20"

"t=\\frac{\\log_{1.0175}20}{4}"

"t\\approx43.169" years


b) After three years Sarah had in her account the following sum:

"5000*(1+0.05\/2)^6"

After withdrawal of 3 000 she had:

"5000*(1+0.05\/2)^6-3000"

After two more years (i.e. five years she made her investment) she had:

"[5000*(1+0.05\/2)^6-3000]*[1+0.05\/2]^4\\approx3088.984" RM
