Hi,
The regular compound interest rate formula which is
does not work here because
It uses , which is a lump of money that gets
compounded over time and gives as a result.
I found a formula on the internet that is used for
periodic deposits in a bank, and the deposits are
compounded at a certain interst rate. The formula they
gave is:

is the regular deposit
is the compound rate of interest
is number of times per year interest is compounded
is the number of years
is amount accumulated after years
------------------------------------------------------------
For this problem:
= 600000 euros
= .06
= 4 (quarterly)
= 4 years
-----------------------

I don't get the answer you're supposed to, either, so
I made a mistake, or this isn't the right formula.
