ASSIGNMENT
You are a recent graduate and want to start saving for retirement. You plan to save R2,000 per year
for the next 15 years. After that you will stop contributing and just allow your savings to accumulate
for another 20 years. Your twin brother would rather wait before he starts saving. He will not put away
anything for the next 10 years, then he will start making contributions at the end of each year for the
final 25 years. You both expect to earn a 9.5% rate of return on your investments. How much must
your brother put away at the end of each year to have the same amount of money for retirement as
you?
You are considering buying a new home. The house you are looking at costs R120,000 and you plan
to make a 10% down payment. You check with a bank and it has two home loan options for you. The
first is a 15-year mortgage at 6.25%. The second is a 30-year mortgage at 6.50%.
