1 920 hours.
Test Basi's hypothesis at the 7% level of significance. Ensure you state a
conclusion based on your test. (10)

QUESTION 2
Jude obtained a loan at an annual interest rate of 5,68%, compounded monthly.
He will amortise the loan with equal monthly instalments of R5 154,26, starting in
three months' time and completing the repayment within three years of the date of
the loan being granted.
2.1 Calculate the value of the loan, correct to the nearest rand. (6)
2.2 Calculate the balance outstanding on the loan, two years after it was
approved. (5)

approved. (5)
[16]
QUESTION 3
Eight years ago a company bought office equipment for R3 400 000. The
equipment is now valued at R2 000 000. This figure is calculated using reducing-
balance depreciation, and takes into account the increased value of the equipment
due to inflation.
3.1 Calculate the depreciated value of the equipment, without inflation being
taken into account. Assume that the rate of inflation has been constant at
6,8% per annum, compounded annually. (4)
3.2 Calculate the annual rate of reducing-balance depreciation on the value of
the equipment (that is, without inflation being taken into account), as a
percentage, correct to two decimals. (4)
3.3 The company decides to create a sinking fund (to replace the equipment)
that accrues to R5 500 000 over the next six years. Bi-annual payments
(that is, every six months) will be made into the fund, starting immediately
and ending two years before the fund matures. A once-off withdrawal of
R300 000, for maintenance of the current equipment is to be made three
years after the fund is started. Calculate the value of the bi-annual
payments, if the fund earns interest at a rate of 7,64% per annum,
compounded monthly. (18)

QUESTION 4
In the Augrabies Game Reserve (Northern Cape), quiver trees are self-
propagating with about 5% of new trees surviving each year. However, game
rangers have noted that the older trees are dying at a rate of 50 per year. There
are currently about 6 500 quiver trees in the reserve.
Rangers found that aardvarks were scratching themselves against the older trees,
thus damaging the bark, making the trees more prone to infection. There are
currently about 1 300 aardvarks in the reserve, with no real predators.
The rangers have calculated that, as long as the aardvark population remains less
than 25% of the quiver tree population, no permanent ecological damage will be
done. The table below incompletely records the population of quiver trees and
aardvarks:
Quiver trees Aardvarks
P0 6 500 1 300
P1 6 775 1 396
P2 7 064 1 500
P3 7 367 1 610
P4 7 685 1 730
P5 A 1 858
P6 B 1 995
P7 C 2 143
P8 D 2 301
P9 E 2 472
P10 F 2 655
4.1 Using information from the table, calculate the annual intrinsic growth rate
for the aardvarks, as a percentage, correct to one decimal place. (4)
4.2 Give a recursive formula that models the quiver tree population. (4)
4.3 Complete the table by calculating the values A to F for the quiver tree
population. Round off to the nearest whole value. (3)
4.4 According to these figures, during which year will the aardvarks start
causing permanent ecological damage to the quiver tree population? (2)
4.5 From the given aardvark population figures, explain how it is evident that a
Malthusian model, rather than a Logistic model, has been used. (3)

QUESTION 5
Gifberg is a popular hikers' destination in the isolated mountains near Van Rhynsdorp,
in the Western Cape. The phase plot below records the populations of snakes and
rodents at one-year intervals over a century, according to the Lotka-Volterra model.
Two out of every three rodents are female, and each bears a litter of about eight
young every four months. The survival rate of the young is rather low at 5% per
annum. The population of rodents is estimated to be about 500 000 and 533 300 in
Year 0 and Year 1 respectively.
The life expectancy of snakes is five years, and their initial population is about 4 000.

5.2 If 760 snakes were born in the first year, calculate the snake population at the
end of the first year. (5)
5.3 Calculate the annual intrinsic growth rate of the rodents. (5)

QUESTION 5
Cave diving has become a popular sport, especially in provinces that are not close
to the sea. Divac decides to visit the Komati Springs in Mpumalanga, with its eight
submerged caves.
In the graph below, vertices A to H represent the eight caves, with the entrance
and exit to the network indicated as N and X respectively. The weight of the edges
represents the time taken in minutes for an average diver to swim from one cave
to the next, allowing for some exploration time at each cave visited.

starting from when he enters the network until he exits it. Use Prim's
algorithm to determine a lower bound, starting at N, by initially leaving out E. (10)
5.2 Answer this question on the ANSWER SHEET, showing evidence of your
thought processes.
Divac can only take enough oxygen for 90 minutes, but wants to visit at
least half the caves. Use Dijkstra's algorithm to find an optimal time route
for him, starting at N and visiting at least half the caves before ending at X.
Clearly state the optimal route, as well as its time. (12)
