Second numerical example issued by BNM on 1 May 2020. Apparently she was underwhelmed by new additional, albeit razor thin, 19-ringgit-add-on spread across her debt time series post-October, which is presented in stark contrast to the earlier 0-ringgit-add-on scenario exemplified In the first numerical example given by BNM, they used \(p_0 = 9\times 10^4\), \(n = 108\) terms, balance \(n_{\rm bal} = 72\) terms, \(p_0=1133\) on 27 March 2020. First numerical example issued by BNM on 27 March 2020. Fortunately she can probably consult his degree-holder son, a certain mister Liah, and ask him to verify BNM's calculations. The hire-purchase value in the simple-interest universe is quite easy to handle. The hire-purchase value for the \(n\)
