Q:

If you deposit $4000 into an account paying 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, how much money will be in the account after 5 years ?

A) 3387.42 B) 4387.42
C) 5387.42 D) 6387.42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5387.42

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for calculating compound interest depends on several factors. These factors include the amount of money deposited called the principal, the annual interest rate (in decimal form), the number of times the money is compounded per year, and the number of years the money is left in the bank.

 FV=p1+rnnt

 

FV = Future value of the Deposit

 

p = Principal or Amount of Money deposited

 

r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal form )

 

n = No of times compounded per year

 

t = time in years

FV=40001+0.0644(5)= 5387.42

Q:

If there is a total of 104 weekly instalments and a thirddeposit, find the interest charged

A) 237.55 B) 337
C) 443 D) 334
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 237.55

Explanation:

Cash price = $3695

Deposit =1/3 of $3695 = $1231.67

Loan amount = $3695.00 − $1231.67 = $2463.33

Total cost of loan = $25.97 × 104= $2700.88

 

Interest charged = total amount − loan
I = A − P
= 2700.88 − 2463.33
= 237.55

Q:

A car is purchased on hire-purchase. The cash price is $21 000 and the terms are a deposit of 10% of the price, then the balance to be paid off over 60 equal monthly instalments. Interest is charged at 12% p.a.  What is the monthly instalment?

A) $503 B) $504
C) $505 D) %506
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) $504

Explanation:

Cash price = $21 000

Deposit = 10% × $21 000 = $2100 

Loan amount = $21000 − $2100 = $18900

I=p x r x t/100 

I=11340

Total amount = 18900 + 11340 = $30240

Regular payment = total amount /number of payments
