1 | 3.00% | 0.50% | 0.10% | 0.00% | 3.00% | 3.00% | 5.60% | |
2 | 4.00% | 0.50% | 0.20% | 0.10% | (3%+4%)/2= | 3.50% | 6.30% | |
3 | 5.00% | 0.50% | 0.30% | 0.20% | (3%+4%+5%)/3= | 4.00% | 7.00% | |
4 | 6.70% | 0.50% | 0.40% | 0.30% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%)/4= | 4.68% | 7.88% | |
5 | 9.10% | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.40% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%)/5= | 5.56% | 8.96% | |
6 | 7.70% | 0.50% | 0.60% | 0.50% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%+7.7%)/6= | 5.92% | 9.52% | |
7 | 8.90% | 0.50% | 0.70% | 0.60% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%+7.7%+8.9)/7= | 6.34% | 10.14% | |
8 | 8.90% | 0.50% | 0.80% | 0.70% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%+7.7%+(8.9x2))/8= | 6.66% | 10.66% | |
9 | 8.90% | 0.50% | 0.90% | 0.80% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%+7.7%+(8.9x3))/9= | 6.91% | 11.11% | |
10 | 8.90% | 0.50% | 1.00% | 0.90% | (3%+4%+5%+6.7%+9.1%+7.7%+(8.9x4))/10= | 7.11% | 11.51% | |
