1. (8 marks) A recent university graduate buys a new car by borrowing R180 000 from a bank
at 9,6% annual interest, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
1.1. What should her instalments be if she wishes to repay the bank equal amounts at the end
of each month? (2)

1.2. She decides to pay R4 500 every month in order to repay the loan in a shorter period
of time. How many equal payments of R4 500 will she make? (Do not include the final
smaller payment.) (3)

4. (9 marks A developer wants to build a complex comprising luxury shops each of the
same size, from which he will derive revenue by renting them out. The construction
costs are approximately millions of rand and the expected revenue is
