If the 5% is yearly, and it is compounded monthly, that means that the monthly interest rate is 5/12 percent. In this case, the base factor, in the formula for compound interest, is 1 + 5/1200. After one year (12 monthly periods), the capital would be 200000 x (1 + 5/1200)12. If you want to invest the money for two years (24 months), replace the exponent 12 by 24, etc.
