I.
the future value of the amount in the bank in 5 years.

Formula Applied : FV = M = P ( 1 + i )n
Equation Information : (i) = 6.5 % , P = RM 10,500,000 , n = 5

Solution :
= 10,500,000 ( 1 + 0.065)5
= RM 14,385,909.97

II.
the shortage in 5 years.
Solution :
RM 21,300,000 RM 14,385,909,97
= RM 6,914,090.03

III.
the interest earned in part (I).

Formula Applied : M = P + I

Solution: I = M P

= RM 14,385,909.97 RM 10,500,000
= RM 3,885,909.97
3. Create an invoice for 8 items which are related to a company. Compute the total
