Your maths is not your strong point - have you never heard of compound
interest? You actually need the product 1.03 * 1.02 * 1.08.

The way to get that in XSLT is a recursive template. Pass the list of
values and the starting value (1) as a parameter, the template then
multiplies the supplied value (1) with the first value in the list
(1.03) and passes this as a parameter in a recursive call to process the
remaining items in the list.
