[4] R395 600,34.
[5] none of the above.
,Questions 5 and 6 refer to the following situation:
A study was undertaken at eight garages to determine how the resale value of a car is affected
by its age. The following data was obtained:
The garage manager suspects a linear relationship between the two variables. Fit acurve of the
form y = a + bx to the data.
5. The equation is equal
to [1] y = 7,0417 − 0,001x.
[2] y = 0,001 + 7,0417x.
[3] y = 48 644,17 − 6 596,93x.
[4] y = 6 596,93 − 48 644,17x.
[5] none of the above.
6. The correlation coefficient
equals [1] 0,0000.
[2] −0,9601.
[3] 0,8450.
[4] 1,0000.
[5] none of the above.
7. Rian borrows R2 000 at a simple interest rate of 8% per annum. The amount that he owes
at the beginning of the eighth year equals
[1] R1 120,00.
[2] R3 120,00.
[3] R3 280,00.
, [4] R3 427,65.
[5] none of the above.
8. After making a down payment of R5 000 on a boat, Mr Brown also had to pay an
additionalR700 per month for it for three years. Interest was charged at 14,5% per
year compounded monthly on the unpaid balance. The original price of the boat equals
[1] R6 611,60.
[2] R20 336,44
[3] R25 336,44.
[4] R36 337,23.
[5] none of the above.
9. Joe needs R14 500 to buy a computer. Computer World is prepared to lend him the money on
condition that he signs a promissory note to pay back the money in ten months’ time.
What is the value of the promissory note if Computer World charges 28% discount?
[1] R11 116,67.
[2] R11 756,76.
[3] R17 883,33.
[4] R18 913,04.
[5] none of the above.
10. If the continuous compounding rate for a nominal rate compounded every three
months is11,832%, then the nominal rate equals
[1] 11,66%.
[2] 11,832%.
[3] 12,01%.
[4] 12,07%.
[5] 12,56%.
