2.3 Mrs Teddy went to check the maturity value towards her retirement annuity, as she will
be turning 55 in 4 months’ time. She expects to receive her lump sum when she turns 55.
The sales lady informed her that the maturity value is R334 159, and she will receive 1/3
of this lump sum. This is because as from 2017 South African law stated that if a lump
sum exceeded R247 500, a person will receive 1/3 of the total lump sum and thereafter
will receive equal instalments.
Mrs Teddy decided to invest the 1/3 of her lump sum at 9% p.a. compounded half yearly
for 2 years.
2.3.1 Calculate the amount Mrs Teddy will receive when she turns 55 years old. (3)
2.3.2 Mrs Teddy says that the interest she will receive after 2 years is R24 500. Verify,
showing ALL calculations, that her statement is valid. (8)

business. He received two options to choose from. The options are shown in the table
below:
TABLE 1: BUSINESS INTERNET OPTIONS

Mbps – Megabits per second
Mr Walker wants to buy 40 Mbps. The sales representative offered him the following
options:
• Buying FOUR 10 Mbps LTE
• Buying TWO 20 Mbps LTE
He found out that it’s cheaper to buy 50 Mbps fibre-optic than it is to buy 40 Mbps LTE.
Verify, by means of calculations, if Mr Walker’s statement is valid. (8)
