(3) (c) Machine A and machine B are two different coin-pressing machines that operate at the same time. The probability that machine A presses a R5 coin is 0,4 and the probability that machine B presses a R5 coin is 0,3. The probability that the machines both press R5 coins at the same time is 0,1. (1) Redraw the Venn diagram in your Answer Book and fill in numerical values for p, q, r and x. (4) (2) Calculate the probability that exactly one of the machines is pressing a R5 coin.

The owner of a Printing Company has decided to purchase machinery from China. (a) The cost of her machinery that will be imported from China is ¥480 163 (i.e. 480 163 Chinese yuan). If the exchange rate is 1 South African rand = 0,502 Chinese yuan, calculate the total amount she will pay in South African rand. (2) (b) The import charges amount to 5% of the value of the machinery purchased. Calculate the import charges in rand. (2) (c) The owner intends to use her savings to purchase the machinery, which includes the import charges. She currently has R225 450 in her savings account earning interest at 9,5% effective (i.e. 9,5% per annum compounded annually). Determine how long it will take before she has enough money in her savings to purchase the machinery. (Assume that the price of the machinery and the import charges remain constant.) (4) (d) The owner decides that she wishes to purchase the machinery immediately. She uses her current savings as a deposit and approaches the bank for a loan for the balance that she requires. The bank will offer her a loan which must be repaid at the end of each month at an interest rate of 1% per month compounded monthly over a period of 4 years. (1) Calculate the monthly instalment. (Assume she receives the loan immediately and that the first payment is made after one month.) (4) (2) Calculate the outstanding balance at the end of two years, i.e. immediately after the 24th payment. (3) [15] IEB Copyright © 2017
