QUESTION 9

9.1 Two friends each receive an amount of R6 000 to invest for a period of 5 years.
They invest the money as follows:

Martha: 8,5% per annum simple interest.

exactly 5% of the principal (original amount).

Malibongwe: 8% per annum compounded quarterly.

Who will have the bigger return on investment after 5 years?
