5.2 Carl’s Car Wash is saving for new equipment. Carl invests R10 000 at 7,5% p.a.,
compounded monthly.
5.2.2 Carl deposited R10 000. At the end of the first year the interest rate changes
to 7,8%, compounded quarterly. Six months later Carl deposited a further
R5 000. If Carl requires R17 000 for the new equipment, will he have
sufficient funds for this purchase after 3 years? (5)
5.3 Two friends receive an amount of R6 000 each to invest for a period of 5 years.

bonus of exactly 5% of the principal amount.
Haley: 8% p.a. compounded quarterly.
Who will have a larger investment after 5 years?
