You borrow Ksh 1.2million to buy a new car. The lender charges 5% p.a. compounded at the end of each month. You intend to pay the loan off in 5 years. i. How much interest will you pay on the loan ii. If the interest is compounded once a year instead of monthly, how much interest would you pay iii. What is the effective interest rate for the loan iv. How would the effective interest rate change if interest was compounded fortnightly instead of monthly? v. Generate a table to show how the Loan of 1million to 2million should be paid over 1 yr, 2yrs and 3yrs in successive quantums of 100,000 to enable any borrower to see what best fits their capability of repayment Formulae A = P(1 +i)n B =P(1+ i/m)mn C =(1+i/m)m- 1
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
