QUESTION 6
6.1 When Xolani purchased his plot of land he had enough to start up his
vegetable business, but had to take out a loan of R358 000,00 with the bank
to pay for the plot. He went to two different banks to get the best possible
loan available. The following is what he was offered by the banks.
Bank A
He has to put down 10% deposit, and he can borrow the remainder at 12,5%
p.a. paid off over 10 years with simple interest being applied.
Bank B
He can get a personal loan and pay it off after 10 years. He will be charged
11% p.a. compounded annually.
