QUESTION 7
7.1 A car cost ๐ฅ rand. The value of the car decreased by ๐% annually on the reducing-
balance method. After 42 months the book value of the car is half of what it was
worth when it was bought. Calculate r. (4)
7.2 A man plans to buy a car for his family. The car will cost R90 000.
He has two options:
Option 1:
He applies for a car loan.
The bank charges interest at 14% per annum, compounded monthly. He can afford a
monthly instalment of R3 000. He will make the first monthly repayment one month
after the loan is granted.
Option 2:
He deposits a fixed amount at the end of each month to buy the car at R90 000 over
three years. (assuming the price of the car will still be R90 000 over 3 years.) The
bank pays interest at 10% per annum, compounded monthly. He will make the first
deposit at the end of the first month.
7.2.1 Calculate, to the nearest year, how long it will take the man to pay back the
loan, if he chooses Option 1. (5)
7.2.2 Suppose he chooses Option 1. Calculate the outstanding balance
immediately after the 24th payment. (3)
