Question 1
(a)
Option A:
Interest = RM 15,000 x 8% x 2 years
Interest = RM 2400
The total return = RM 15,000 + RM 2,400
= RM 17,400
Option B:
Compounded formula
FV = PV (1+i) n
Compounded Semi-annually formula
FV = PV (1+i/m) n x m
FV = RM 15,000(1+0.06/2) 2 x 2
FV = RM 15,000(1+0.03) 4
FV = RM 15,000(1.03) 4
FV = RM 16,882.63
Option C:
Compounded formula
FV = PV (1+i) n
Compounded fortnightly means that every 2 weeks.
365 Days / 14 times = 26.07142857 times
FV = PV (1+i/m) n x m
FV = RM 15,000(1+0.03/26.07142857) 2 x 26.07142857
FV = RM 15,000(1+0.03/26.07142857) 52.14285714
FV = RM 15,000(1.001150685) 52.14285714
FV = RM 15,927.00
Hence, I will advice Ridzuan make an investment on Option A, this is because Option A invest in a fund
that pays 8% simple interest for 2 years and it’s the highest return compare to option b and option c. Follow the
calculation above, Option A future value is RM 17,400 better than option b and option c.
(b)
Saving accounts = RM 10,000
Interest rate = 8%
Time n = 10 years
FV10 = RM 144,865.62
(c)
Motor vehicle costs RM 20,000
10% as deposit = RM 20,000 x 0.1
= RM 2,000
Balance to be paid = RM 20,000 - RM 2,000
= RM 18,000
(i)
Compound interest formula
FV = PV(1+r) n
FV = RM 18,000(1+0.02)6
FV = RM 18,000(1.02)6
FV = RM 18,000 x 1.12162
FV = RM 20,270.92
The total amount of interest expense if the compound interest rate is 2% per month and total RM 20,270.92
need to pay after 6 month.
(ii)
Loan amortization schedule showed below
Month Beginning value Interest 2% Ending value
1 RM 18,000.00 RM 360.00 RM 18,360.00
2 RM 18,360.00 RM 367.20 RM 18,727.20
3 RM 18,727.20 RM 374.54 RM 19,101.74
4 RM 19,101.74 RM 382.03 RM 19,483.77
5 RM 19,483.77 RM 389.68 RM 19,873.45
6 RM 19,873.45 RM 397.47 RM 20,270.92
The total amount be paid for the vehicle is RM 2,000 deposit + RM 20,270.92 including interest after 6 months
= RM 22,270.92.
Question 3
(i)
Expected return for each of the stock.
Stock A
Return = 10% + 5% + 6% + 8% + 12% + 15%
= 56%
Average return = 56 % / 6 years
= 9.33%
Stock B
Return = 8% + 4% + 4.80% + 6.4% + 9.6% + 12%
= 44.8%
Average return = 44.8% / 6 years
= 7.47%
Stock C
Return = 5% + 10% + 12% + 10% + 6% + 6%
= 49%
Average return = 49% / 6 years
= 8.17%
(ii)
Formula for sample variance
S2 = Ʃ(
