Firstly neither are written properly Person A gets 3% per annum (yearly)  and Person B gets 4% per annum (yearly) 

BOTH STATED interest rates are per annum.

 

 

A will have        2700*(1.03)^n     where n is in years

 

B will have       2300*(1+0.04/12)^m     where m is in months

 

Now you can work them out
