QUESTION 1
1. Mrs Venter has a prepaid electricity meter in her home. The municipality uses sliding
scale tariffs for prepaid electricity. The more electricity you purchase in a calendar
month the higher the subsequent tariff becomes.
TABLE 1 below shows the standard sliding scale tariffs per month for prepaid
electricity.

DBE/2015
A few years ago Mrs Yengopal's company bought a car on a special purchase
agreement. No deposit was paid and the payment plan required fixed monthly
instalments over five years and a balloon (residual) amount as a final 61" payment. A
balloon (residual) amount is a lump sum owed to the financier at the end of the
special purchase agreement after regular fixed monthly repayments have been made.
The company receives a tax invoice as well as an updated bank statement every
month. ANNEXURE A shows the tax invoice for 5 September 2014.
1.2.1 Use ANNEXURE A to answer the following questions.
(a) How many fixed monthly instalments are still to be paid from the
date of the invoice until the expiry date of the special purchase
agreement?
(b) Identify the arrears amount as reflected on the invoice.
(c) Express the monthly interest given on the invoice as a percentage of
the monthly fixed instalment.
(d) Determine the total amount the company would have paid for the car
(including the residual amount) at the end of the period.
1.2.2 TABLE 2 shows the bank statement the company received together with
the tax invoice. (Some of the details have been omitted.)

2.2 Freda decides to make two pap tarts at the same time. She uses the recipe (for one pap
tart) below that she received from a friend.
Pap tart
Ingredients (for ONE tart)
125 mé milk
720 m€ chicken stock
} teaspoon salt
150 g coarse maize meal
2 packets polony, diced
4 cups of grated cheese
Method
Prepare the maize pap using the milk,
stock, salt and maize meal.
Let the pap simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the polony to the pap.
Add the cheese as a top layer on the
pap.
Bake the tart in a preheated oven at
180 °C for about 15 minutes.
Let the pap tart stand for about
10 minutes to allow it to set before
serving.
1 000 m€ = 4 cups
2.2.1 How many cups of milk is required to make TWO pap tarts?
2.2.2 Calculate the total volume (in mf) of the liquid ingredients needed for
TWO pap tarts.
22.3 Convert the mass of the maize meal required for TWO pap tarts to
kilogram.
2.2.4 Freda started making the two pap tarts at 11:20 and served the tarts at
12:30, directly after it had set.
Determine the extra time that she took to prepare the two pap tarts.
2.2.5 Freda e-mailed the recipe for the pap tart to her friend in London, but
converted the temperature to Fahrenheit (°F).
Convert the temperature of 180 °C to °F.
You may use the following formula:
Temperature (in °F) = temperature (in °C) x 1,8 + 32
