We Can observe that Profit under new policy is greater than old policy, So it is advisable to accept the new policy.

Working Note for Interest Calculation:

Given Interest rate per month = 0.75%

Since Our funds are blocking for 1 month there is an oppurtunity Cost of Interest

Interest for 1 month = RM 31775*0.75%

= RM 238.313

If you are having any doubt, please post a comment.
