QUESTION 4 [18]

After Jason graduates as an actuarial scientist he purchases a house. The selling

price of the house is R 1 300 000. He pays a 15% deposit and obtains a loan from

the bank to pay back the balance. Because of his degree the bank charges him

interest of 11% per annum, compounded monthly.
