Accept a positive or negative value for PVPVPV. (PMT=)792.13(PMT=) 792.13(PMT=)792.13 AUD A1 Note: Accept an answer of -792.13. Do not award final A1\boldsymbol{A1}A1 if answer is not given correct to 2 dp

PVPVPV and PMTPMTPMT must have opposite signs. (FV=)133019.94(FV=) 133019.94(FV=)133019.94 AUD Note: Do not award final A1\boldsymbol{A1}A1 if answer is not given correct to 2 dp , unless already penalized in part (a). Accept 133020.30 from use of exact value for PMT.

    3.

    Using your answers to parts and (b)(i), calculate how much interest they will have paid in total during the first 10 years.

    Solution

    amount of money paid: 120×792.13(=95055.60)120 \times 792.13(=95055.60)120×792.13(=95055.60) (M1) loan paid off: 170000−133019.94(=36980.06)170000-133019.94(=36980.06)170000−133019.94(=36980.06) interest paid: (95055.60−36980.06=)58075.54(95055.60-36980.06=) 58075.54(95055.60−36980.06=)58075.54 AUD Note: Allow 58075.60 or 58075.90 from use of some exact values from parts (a) and (b)(i). If their answer to part (b)(i) is greater than 170000 then award at most (M1)(M1)(AO) for follow through in part (b)(ii).
