Note:

# Investment Amount + (Investment Amount X Interest Rate X Investment Duration / Day Count Basis)
= HKD100,000 + (HKD100,000 X 13.52% X 32 days / 365 days)
= HKD 101,185.32

* [Investment Amount + (Investment Amount X Interest Rate X Investment Duration / Day Count Basis)] / Conversion Rate
= [HKD100,000 + (HKD100,000 X 13.52% X 32 days / 365 days)] / 6.8600
= AUD14,750.05
