simplify loop

It is, backwards, a cumulative product so you could use cumprod.

Is there a way to implement this faster than doing it in a loop.

       for (i in length(settle)-1:1) {
               settle[i] = settle[i+1]/(1 + settle.pct[i+1])
       }

I want to guarantee that i+1 is calculated before i
