So confused?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
4000 x 1.08 = X = 4320

4320 x 0.95 = 4104

4104 x 0.95 = 3898.80

Whats confusing?

you calculate the value after 1 year (+8%)

then you take the new vakue after 1 year (-5%)

then you take the new value after another year (-5%)

If you find it confusing then give up maths cos you will be useless at it - and better find that out now than persist in trying to get other people to do your work for you (but I have no doubt some dumba//s will)

Lol @ who for basically doing the work for you...what a dummy

4,000(1.08)(1 - 0.05)(1 - 0.05)

= 4,000(1.08)(0.95)(0.95)

= 4,000(0.97470)

= 3,898.80

Jon buys £4000 of shares. In the first year the shares increase in value of 8%.

In the next two years the shares decrease in value by 5% each year.

Work out the value of the shares at the end of three years.
