  1. $4016.76$

  2. $3013.54$

  3. $4065.24$

  4. $1034.54$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here, $V=Rs.30000,\,\,r=12\%=0.12$ and $n=20$.

We know $V=\dfrac{A}{r}[1-(1+r)^{-n}]$
Thus $30000=\dfrac{A}{0.12}[1-(1+0.12)^{-20}]$
$\Rightarrow$   $A=\dfrac{30000\times 0.12}{[1-(1+0.12)^{-20}]}$
$\Rightarrow$  $A=\dfrac{3600}{[1-(1.12)^{-20}]}$
$\Rightarrow$  $A=$ Rs. $4016.76$

  1. 12613.48

  2. 10613.48

  3. 11613.48

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  We have $A=Rs.4630.50,\, n=3$ and rate of interest is $20\%$ which is compounded quarterly. So, $r=5\%$

$\Rightarrow$ We have to find sum borrow i.e. $V$
$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{A}{r}[1-(1+r)^{-n}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{4630.50}{0.05}[1-(1+0.05)^{-3}]$  

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{463050}{5}[1-(1.05)^{-3}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=92610\times \dfrac{1261}{9261}$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=10\times 1261$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=Rs.12610$

  1. Rs.$613.2$

  2. Rs.$603.2$

  3. Rs.$513.2$

  4. Rs.$713.2$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$P=\cfrac{A}{(1+\cfrac{R}{100})^n}$

$\implies \cfrac{1682}{(1+\cfrac{10}{100})^1}$$+\cfrac{1682}{(1+\cfrac{10}{100})^2}$
$ \implies 1592.09+1390.08=2919.17\approx 2920$
$\implies A _2=2920(1+\cfrac{10}{100})^2=3533.2$
$CI=A _1-P=3533.2-2920=Rs.613.2$

  2. 1408.19

  3. 3408.19

  4. 5408.19

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using formula of sinking fund

$M=\cfrac{A}{r}[(1+r)^n-1]$
$\implies 1000= \cfrac{A}{0.04}[(1+0.04)^{25}-1]\implies A=2408.19$

business mathematics and statistics insurance and annuity amount of an annuity annuities financial mathematics

  1. Car Loan

  2. Daughter's Marriage

  3. House Loan

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$\Rightarrow$  $Daughter's\,\,Marriage$ is not an example of annuity certain.
$\Rightarrow$  Annuity certain is annuity that, as a minimum, guarantees a fixed number of payments. It continues over the life of the annuitant, even if he or she lives beyond the number of payments specified in the annuity contract. 
$\Rightarrow$ In case the annuitant dies before exhausting the payments, a named beneficiary continues to receive the remaining number. Also called life annuity certain or life annuity certain and continuous.
$\Rightarrow$  House loan and Car loan are examples of annuity certain.

  1. $1928$

  2. $1980$

  3. $1930$

  4. $1954$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  We have, $A=Rs.2,160,\, n=3\, and\, r=20\%$

$\Rightarrow$  First we have to find Sum borrowed i.e. $V$.
$\Rightarrow$  Using, $V=\dfrac{A}{r}[1-(1+r)^{-n}]$


$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{2160}{0.2}[1-(1.2)^{-3}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=10800[1- \dfrac{1000}{(12)^3}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=10800[\dfrac{(1728-1000)}{1728}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{10800\times 728}{1728}$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=Rs.4550$.
$\Rightarrow$  Total interest = $(A\times n)-V=2160\times 3-4550=Rs. 1930$

Mr Dev purchased a car paying Rs $90,000$ and promising to pay Rs 5000 every 3 months for the next 10 years. The interest is $6$% p.a. compounded quarterly. What is the cash value (approximately) of the car ?

  1. 238467

  2. 235467

  3. 228467

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  We have, $A=Rs.5000,\, n=40$ and $I=\dfrac{6}{100}\times \dfrac{1}{4}=0.015$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{A}{I}[1-(1+I)^{-n}]$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{5000}{0.015}[1-(1+0.015)^{-40}]$      ---   ( 1 )

$\Rightarrow$  Let $x=(1.015)^{-40}$
$\Rightarrow$  $log\, x=-40(0.0064)$
$\Rightarrow$  $log\, x=-0.256=(\bar{1}.7440)$
$\Rightarrow$   $x=antilog (\bar{1}.7440)$
$\Rightarrow$   $x=0.5546$
     Substitute this value in ( 1 ),
$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{5000}{0.015}(1-0.5546)$

$\Rightarrow$  $V=\dfrac{5000}{0.015}\times 0.4454=Rs.148466.67$

$\therefore$   Total cash value of the car = $Rs.90000+Rs.148466.67$
$\Rightarrow$  Total cash value of car = $Rs.2,38,467$ approx.
