QUESTION 7

7A A company bought machinery costing R80 000. Using the reducing balance method,

7.2

the machinery had a book value of R20 000 after 5 years.
Calculate the rate of depreciation.

Calculate the effective interest rate if interest is compounded at 5% p.a., compounded
quarterly.

Sipho invested R30 000 for 6 years. The investment earned interest at 12% p.a.,
compounded monthly for the first two years. Thereafter the interest rate changed to
10,8% p.a., compounded semi-annually for the rest of the period.

Calculate the value of the investment at the end of 6 years. (No other transactions
were made on the account.)

Mary deposited R25 000 into a savings account with an interest rate of 18% p.a.,
compounded monthly. Mary withdrew R8000 from the account 2 years after
depositing the initial amount. She deposited another R4 000 into this account 3%
years after the initial deposit. What amount will Mary have 5 years after making the
initial deposit in this account?

QUESTION 8

8.1

8.2

A bag contains 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. A marble is taken from the bag, the
colour is recorded and the marble is put aside. A second marble is taken from the bag,
the colour is recorded and then put aside.

si Draw a tree diagram to represent the information above. Show the
probabilities associated with EACH branch, as well as the possible
outcomes.

8.1.2 Determine the probability of first taking a red marble and then taking

a blue marble, in that order.

A and B are two events. The probability that event A will occur is 0,4 and the
probability that event B will occur is 0,3. The probability that either event A or event
B will occur is 0,58.

8.2.1 Are events A and B mutually exclusive?
Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.

8.2.2 Are events A and B independent?
Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.
