Pay the loan with equal monthly instalments over VVV Vv 5 years, at an interest rate of 6,3 % per annum, compounded monthly! SAA Determine the loan amount that the artisan had to take out for this deal. 5.1.2 Calculate, correct to ONE decimal place, the annual effective interest rate. 5.2 An engineering company conducted an audit of the number of its unskilled workers during March 2019. Due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), it is estimated that by April 2023, the number of unskilled workers employed by the company will decrease at a compound rate of 5,43% per annum, to 60 unskilled workers. Calculate how many unskilled workers were employed by the engineering company during April 2019. Show ALL calculations. 5.3 Bongi received a bonus of R85 000 and decided to invest the bonus for a period of 6 years. The interest rate for the first two years was 5,4% per annum, compounded semi-annually, and for the remaining years changed to 6% per annum, compounded monthly. At the end of the 4” year, he withdrew R20000 from the investment account to pay his daughter's school fees. 5.3.1 Calculate the value of the investment at the end of the first two years. 5.3.2 Hence, determine whether the final amount that Bongi will receive at the end of the investment period, will be more than the amount he originally invested.
