2) Liza borrowed RM 70,000 from Agro Bank to buy a shop. The interest charged was
3.5% on the reducing balance. She settled the debt for 9 years through equal
monthly deduction from her salary. Use the Constant Ratio Formula, find

i) the total interest charged. (2 marks)

ii) the monthly payment. (2 marks)

r = 0.035, n = 9  12 = 108, M = 12, CP = 70, 000

B+I
ii) R= √
n

70,000 + 11,127.08

3) The cash price of a car is RM62,000. Under an installment plan, a buyer has to pay
a 10% down payment and the balance has to be repaid in 10 years. If the interest is
5% on reducing balance, calculate

i) the amount of interest charged using the constant ratio formula


(3 marks)

ii) the monthly payment


(2 marks)

iii) the installment price of the car (1 mark)

i) 𝑂𝐵 = 𝐶𝑃 − 𝐷𝑃

= 6200 − [10% × 62000]

= 55800

2𝑀𝐼
𝑟= 𝐵(𝑛+1)

2(12)𝐼
5% = 55800 (120+1)

𝐼 = 14,066.25

ii)

𝑂𝐵+𝐼
𝑅= 𝑛

62000+14,066 .25
= 120

= 𝑅𝑀 633.89

iii)

𝐼𝑃 = 𝐶𝑃 + 𝐼

= 62000 + 14,066.25

= 𝑅𝑀 76,066.25
4) Allan borrowed a certain amount of money from a finance company to purchase a car.
He has to pay RM880 monthly for 5 years.
i) How much did he borrow if the finance company charged interest at 6.5 % per

OB = amount borrowed (P)

ii) If Allan made a 15% down payment, find the cash price of the car. (2 marks)

DP = 15% x CP
CP = DP + OB
