QUESTION 8: [15]
8.8.1. Calculate the original price of an IPad if the depreciated value after 5 years is
R1 200 and the rate of depreciation is 13% per annum based on the reducingbalance method. (3)
8.2. Matt buys a car for R500 000 on an agreement in which he will repay it viamonthly instalments over a period of 5 years. Interest is charged at 18% p.a. compounded monthly.
8.2.1. Calculate the annual effective interest rate of the loan. (3)

8.3. Mario invests a certain sum of money for five years. He receives interest of12% p.a. compounded monthly for the first two years, and thereafter the interestrate changes to 14% p.a. compounded semi-annually. Half way through the finalyear of his investment, Mario needs to replace his car tyres, so he withdrawsR5 000 from his investment account.
If Mario’s investment has grown to a total of R75 000 at the end of the five-yearperiod, calculate how much money Mario invested initially. (6)
