QUESTION 1
1.1 Anisha and Lindiwe each received R12 000 to invest for a period of 5 years. They invested
the money at the same time according to the following options:
โข Anisha: 8,5% p.a. simple interest. At the end of the 5 years she will
receive an additional bonus pay-out of exactly 7,5% of the original amount invested.
โข Lindiwe: 8,5% p.a. compounded quarterly.
Who will have the larger final amount after 5 years? Justify your answer with
appropriate calculations.

1.2 A company bought office furniture that cost R120 000. After how many years will the
furniture depreciate to a value of R41 611,57 according to the reducing-balance method,
if the rate of depreciation is 12,4% p.a.? (4)
1.3 Tebogo opened a savings account with a single deposit of R5 000 at the beginning of June
2015. He then made 24 monthly deposits of R800 at the end of every month, starting at the
end of June 2015. The account earned interest at 15% p.a. compounded monthly.
Calculate the amount that should be in his savings account immediately after he makes the (5)
last deposit. [15]
QUESTION 2
2.1 Exactly five years ago Mpume bought a new car for R145 000. The current book value of this

QUESTION 3
On 1 June 2016 a bank granted Thabiso a loan of R250 000 at an interest rate of 15% p.a.
compounded monthly, to buy a car. Thabiso agreed to repay the loan in monthly
instalments commencing on 1 July 2016 and ending 4 years later on 1 June 2020. However,
Thabiso was unable to make the first two instalments and only commenced with the
monthly instalments on 1 September 2016.

QUESTION 4
4.1 How long would the price of an asset take to reduce by a third of its original value if it
depreciates on a reducing balance at a rate of 4,7% p.a.? (4)
4.2 Lebogo bought a tractor for Rx on 1 April 2016.
โข She will trade in this tractor when she replaces it with a similar one in 5 years' time
on 1 April 2021.
โข The tractor depreciates by 20% p.a. according to the reducing-balance method.
โข The price of a similar tractor increases by 18% annually.
โข Lebogo calculated that if she deposited R8 000 per month into a sinking fund, which
paid interest at 10% p.a. compounded monthly, she would have enough money to
cover the replacement cost of the tractor. She made the first deposit in this fund on 30
April 2016 and will continue to do so at the end of every month until 31 March 2021.
4.2.1 Determine, in terms of x, what the book value of the current tractor will be on 1
April 2021 (that is, 5 years after it was bought). Give your answer correct
to FIVE decimal places. (2)
4.2.2 Determine, in terms of x, what the price of a similar new tractor will be on 1
April 2021. Give your answer correct to FIVE decimal places. (2)

of a. (3)
5.4 A vehicle that costs R450 000 now, is to be replaced at the end of 4 years. The old vehicle will
be used as a trade-in. A sinking fund is created to cover the replacement cost of this vehicle.
Payments will be made at the end of each month. The first payment will be made at the end of (5)
the 13th month and the last payment will be made at the end of the 48th month. The sinking fund
