Part 1
Demand of the computer decreases as its selling price increases. In other word, the higher
the selling price, the lower the quantity demand.
Part 1 (b)
Profit per unit of computer = s - 50
From the graph in Part 1 (a), we can see that there is a linear relationship the demand and
the selling price. Therefore, we can use a straight line equation to represent this
relationship.
First of all, let's find the gradient and the y-intercept of the graph.
Y = Yearly profit
s = selling price
Part 1 (c)
Finding the maximum yearly profit
This implies that when the selling price for the computer is RM175 per unit, the company
will have the maximum profit potential.
Part 1 (d)
The number of computer,
d = -20s + 6000
d = -20(175) + 6000
d = 2500 unit.
Part 2 (b)
The average interest rate per month is as follow:
Since the interest rate is constant over time, hence the average interest per month remain
the same every month. The average interest per month is also directly proportional to the
amount of loan.
Part 2 (c)
The amount of yearly repayment for each choice of repayment period up to 5 years for
loan amounts from RM10 000 to RM100 000 is as follow:
We can see that, the difference of the annual payment is 6192 and 6204. The difference is
approximately the same, hence we assume that the annual payment form an arithmetic
progression with common difference ≈ 6200. We are going to discuss this in detail later.
Part 2 (d)(i)
The company allocated 20% of the profit made on loan repayment.
From the table above, we find that, if the company allocate RM40,000 for loan
repayment, the amount of loan it can take for repayment period, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 year are
as follow:
Part 2 (e)
The amount of the reserve fund at the end of each month until 31St December 2010 is as
follow:
(a)
Demand of the computer decreases as its selling price increases. In other word, the higher
the selling price, the lower the quantity demand.
(b)
Profit per unit of computer = s - 50
Total yearly profit,
Y = (s - 50) x d
From the graph in Part 1 (a), we can see that there is a linear relationship the demand and
the selling price. Therefore, we can use a straight line equation to represent this
relationship.
First of all, let's find the gradient and the y-intercept of the graph.
Y = Yearly profit
s = selling price
This implies that when the selling price for the computer is RM175 per unit, the company
will have the maximum profit potential.
Part 1 (d)
The number of computer,
d = -20s + 6000
d = -20(175) + 6000
d = 2500 unit.
