Colin takes out a 5-year reducing balance loan of $19 000 with interest charged at 6% per annum. He uses this money to buy a car valued at $19 000.

The table shows some of the output from a spreadsheet used to model the reducing balance loan.
 


 

Colin's car is depreciated using the declining-balance method, with a depreciation rate of 20% per annum.

At the end of 3 years, after making the third repayment on the loan, Colin sells the car at its salvage value. He uses the money from the sale of the car to repay the amount owing on the loan at the end of the third year.

How much money will he have left over?  (4 marks)

Show Worked Solution

`V_0 = 19\ 000 \ , \ r = 20text(%) \ , \ n=3`

♦ Mean mark 23%.
`S` `= V_0 (1 – r)^n`
  `= 19\ 000 (1 – 0.2)^3`
  `= $9728`

 

`text{Find the amount owing on the loan after 3 years:}`

`text(Using the table,)`

`text{Interest (year 3)} = 0.06 xx 12\ 056.70 = $ 723.40`

`text{Amount owing (end of year 3)`

`= 12\ 056.70 + 723.40 – 4510.53`

`= $ 8269.57`

 

`therefore \ text{Money left over}`

`= 9728 – 8269.57`

`= $1458.43`

MARKER’S COMMENT: 1 mark allocation flags the answer should not be too involved.

i.   `text(Monthly repayment) = $2200`

`text(# Repayments)\ = 20 xx 12 = 240`

`:.\ text(Total paid)` `= 2200 xx 240`
  `= $528\ 000`

 

ii.    `text(Interest rate monthly)\ = text(6%)/12=\ text(0.5%)`

`A` `= text(Principal at start of month) xx 0.5/100`
  `= 299\ 300 xx 0.5/100`
  `= $1496.50`

 

`B` `=\ text(Principal + interest – repayment)`
  `= 299\ 300 + 1496.50\-2200`
  `= $298\ 596.50`
