Dear Mike I request for your clarification on the figures used to compute Investment Income specifically $20m for March 2008, $90m for April to May 2008 instead of $70m, $30m for June to August 2008 and $90m for September to October 2008. Figures reported in the calculation differs with those stated in the question. I wait for your response. Moses

Here's part of the question: 'He borrowed $100,000,000 on 1 January 2008, and immediately invested $50,000,000. On 28 February he withdrew $30,000,000' If he borrowed $100 and spent $50, invested $50 Then he withdrew $30 How much of that $50 invested did he have after he withdrew $30 on 28 February? That explains the $20 for March Can you do the $90 from April to May? And the $30 from June to August? And $90 from September to October Let me know if you're still struggling
