What is the ROI of RM 60,000 invested at 5.75% for 60 consecutive months?

It depends on whether you mean simple interest or compound interest. For an investment over 60 months (5 years) at 5.75% per year, here are both:

1. Simple Interest

Formula:

Interest=P×r×t\text{Interest} = P \times r \times t

Where:

  • Principal (P) = RM60,000
  • Annual rate (r) = 5.75% = 0.0575
  • Time (t) = 5 years

Interest:

60,000×0.0575×5=RM17,25060,000 \times 0.0575 \times 5 = \textbf{RM17,250}

Total value:

  • RM77,250

ROI:

17,25060,000×100=28.75%\frac{17,250}{60,000} \times 100 = \textbf{28.75\%}


2. Compound Interest (Compounded Annually)

Formula:

A=P(1+r)tA = P(1+r)^t A=60,000(1.0575)5RM79,426.47A = 60,000(1.0575)^5 \approx \textbf{RM79,426.47}

Interest earned:

  • RM19,426.47

ROI:

19,426.4760,000×10032.38%\frac{19,426.47}{60,000} \times 100 \approx \textbf{32.38\%}
