i. How much will this monthly deposit be?
ii. After paying for two years, that estimated cost of the wedding has gone up to RM30000
a) What should be the new monthly deposits?

1 answer

original plan:
i = .05/12 = .0041666...
n = 8*12 = 96
monthly payment --- p

p(1.0041666...^96 - 1)/.0041666... = 20000
...
p = 169.87

how much is there are 2 years
amount = p(1.00416666..^24 - 1)/.00416666... = 4278.21

new amount needed = 30000-4278.21 = 25721.79

new payment --- q

q(1.00416666...^72 - 1)/.0041666... = 25721.79
q = ...

you do the last set of button-pushing
