Zach likes to travel. He has saved R5 000 as spending money for his vacation in Australia at
the end of 2015.
7A Zach looks up the exchange rate on the Internet. Using the information in the table
below, calculate how many Australian dollars Zach can buy for R5 000.
SOUTH AFRICAN RAND RATES TABLE
FOREIGN EQUIVALENT RAND vont
CURRENCY VALUE OF RI CURRENCY
US dollar 0,083130 12,029313
Euro 0,074048 13,504730

7.21 Assume that the average annual rate of inflation in South Africa will be
6,1% over the next 3 years. In 2018, what amount of money will be
equivalent to the value of R5 000 now?
72.2 Zach plans to invest equal amounts into a savings account on
1 December 2016 and on 1 December 2017 to have accumulated an
amount of R5 980 by 1 December 2018. If this account earns interest at
9% p.a. compounded annually, how much money should Zach deposit
into the account on each occasion?
