You want to buy a car which will cost you $10,000. You do not have sufficient funds to purchase the car. You do not expect the price of the car to change in the foreseeable future. You can either save money or borrow money to buy the car.

  • Plan 2: You decide to borrow $13,000 from the bank and purchase the car now, as well as cover some other expenses. The bank offers two options for the structure of the repayments.

- Option 1: The first repayment will not start until you graduate from university. Therefore, no month-end-instalments will be made for the first 36 months. Then, commencing at the end of the 37th month, a total of 30 month-end-instalments of $X will be made over the life of the loan. The nominal interest rate is 6% per annum compounded monthly.

d) Calculate X. (2 mark)

e) Your parents agree to help you repay the loan by contributing a lump sum of $1,800 when you successfully graduate from university. Calculate the new value of X. (1 mark)

- Option 2: For the first 36 months (while you are still studying), you will be making month-end-instalments of $Y. Then, commencing at the end of the 37th month (when you graduate from university), you will double the amount of monthly repayment for the remaining 30 month-end-instalments. The nominal interest rate is 6% per annum compounded monthly.

f) Calculate the value of Y.

Louise has been admitted via the local accident and emergency department following an initial CRISIS assessment by the hospital Mental Health Liaison Team. Louise had consumed half a bottle of vodka and also admitted to smoking cannabis prior to the incident. She denies having taken an overdose of any type and this is corroborated by normal blood test results. she was originally accompanied there by her mother who did not remain with her.

Louise does not appear remorseful for what she has done. She says she is depressed and angry with her parents who 'think she is worthless and do not care about me because  i haven't gone to university like my brothers'. She maintains that she doesn't need any help with her problems, claiming that they are down to 'my immaturity, as my parents keep telling me' and that I'll grow out of it with time.
