    Consider the following calculations

    Explanation:

    According to this general formula

    f1, k = [ (1+rk+1) k+1 / ((1+r1) ]1/k - 1

    f1,1 = [ (1 + 4.9%) 1+1 / ((1+4.4%) ]1/1 - 1 = 5.40%

    f1,2 = [ (1 + 5.6%) 2+1 / ((1+4.4%) ]1/2 - 1 = 6.21%

    f1,3 = [ (1 + 6.4%) 3+1 / ((1+4.4%) ]1/3 - 1 = 7.08%
