The first truck he buys costs R650 000 and it depreciates at 30% per annum on a reducing balance method. Calculate the depreciated value of the truck after 4 years. (2) The price of a new truck appreciates, as a result of inflation, at a rate of 15% per annum. Calculate the value of a new truck in 4 years’ time. (2) Dumisani plans to replace the original truck in 4 years’ time. He plans to use the current truck as a trade-in and pay the remaining amount in cash. To save up for the required cash amount, he sets up a sinking fund, making equal monthly instalments into a fund earning interest of 9,5% per annum, compounded monthly. The first instalment of the sinking fund is paid at the end of the first month of the 4-year period and the last instalment is made at the end of the 4 years. Calculate the monthly instalment Dumisani pays into the sinking fund. (4) Harry buys a property for R1 500 000. After paying a deposit, he takes a loan for the remaining amount of R1 275 000, at an interest rate of 9,2% per annum, compounded monthly over a period of 20 years. The monthly instalment on the loan is R11 636,02. Calculate the outstanding balance of the loan after 7 years. (2) After 7 years, due to financial difficulty, Harry misses 5 consecutive payments. Thereafter he continues making monthly payments into the loan account until the end of the 20 year period. Calculate the value of the new monthly instalment to settle the loan.
