Business Mathematics I – Final Exam
1) Calculate the amount of interest for the following loan. Principal: $46,550; Compounded at a Nominal/Annual Rate of 5.2%; Period runs from 23 October 2017 to 17 November 2017. 4 marks
SOLUTION -
Number of days from 23 October 2017 to 17 November 2017 = 25 days
STEP 1: Convert 25 days into years.
25 Days = (25/365) years = 0.0684 years
STEP 2 : To find amount we use formula:
     A=P(1+r/n)nt
    A = total amount
P = principal or amount of money deposited,
r = annual interest rate
n = number of times compounded per year
t = time in years
P = $46,550 , r = 5.2% , n = 1 and t = 0.0684 years

A = 46,550(1+0.052/1)1*0.0684

=46,550 (1.052) 0.0684
=46,550 * 1.003478
A =$46,711.9
STEP 3: To find interest we use formula  A = P + I , I = interest
A =$46711.9 , P = $46550
A = P + I
$46,711.9 = $46,550 + I
I = $46,711.9 - $46,550
I = $161.9
2) Calculate the amount of interest for the following. Principal: $2700; Compounded quarterly at 1.75% for nine months. 4 marks
STEP 1: Convert 9 months into years.
9 months = (9/12) years = 0.75 years
STEP 2 : To find amount we use formula:
     A=P(1+r/n)nt
    A = total amount
P = principal or amount of money deposited,
r = annual interest rate
n = number of times compounded per year
t = time in years
P = $2700 , r = 1.75% , n = 4 and t = 0.75 years
A = 2700(1+0.0175/4)4.075
= 2700(1.004375)3
A = $2735.59
STEP 3: To find interest we use formula  A = P + I , I = interest
A =$2735.59 , P = $2700
A = P + I
$2735.59 = $2700 + I
I = $2735.59 - $2700
I = $35.59

3) BeanCo buys some new manufacturing equipment from Rooster Machinery for a pre-tax total of $27,000. Rooster gives BeanCo a chain discount of 20/15/8. Calculate the post-discount total price of the equipment. 5 marks
SOLUTION –
· Sale Price (S) = $27,000
Discount (D) = 20%
List Price (L) = ?
L = S/(1-D/100)
=27,000/(1-20/100)
=27,000/(1-0.2)
=27,000/0.8
L = $33,750
Post – discount total price of the equipment = L – S
=$33,750 - $27,000
=$6,750
· Sale Price (S) = $27,000
Discount (D) = 15%
List Price (L) = ?
L = S/(1-D/100)
=27,000/(1-15/100)
=27,000/(1-0.15)
=27,000/0.85
L = $31,764.7059
Post – discount total price of the equipment = L – S
=$31,764.7059 - $27,000
=$4764.7059
· Sale Price (S) = $27,000
Discount (D) = 10%
List Price (L) = ?
L = S/(1-D/100)
=27,000/(1-10/100)
=27,000/(1-0.1)
=27,000/0.9
L = $30,000
Post – discount total price of the equipment = L – S
=$30,000 - $27,000
=$3000
What price would BeanCo pay with a straight 43% discount? 4 marks
SOLUTION -
· Sale Price (S) = ?
Discount (D) = 43%
List Price (L) = $27000
S = L- (D/L) * L
=$27000-(43/100) * 27000
S=$15,390
A price of $15,390 BeanCo pay with a straight 43% discount.
4) The Rift clothing chain location at the Babylon Mall sells discount, mid-range, and designer-label clothing, so their products come from a variety of wholesalers. Rift buys Generic Inc. fleece jackets for their discount sections for $14/unit wholesale, then marks them up by $7. Rift buys Kanyashian designer fleece jackets for $49/unit wholesale, marking them up by $54.
Calculate the sale prices of Generic Inc. and Kanyashian jackets. 4 marks
SOLUTION -
· There is a Loss by selling Generic Inc. fleece jackets of $14/unit whole sale at $7/unit.
Loss% = ((Cost Price -Selling Price) * 100) / Cost Price
= ((14-7) * 100)/14
=100/2
Loss = 50
· There is a Profit by selling...
