Let's go through the questions step by step.
### QUESTION SIX
#### a) Amortization of Debt
1. **Calculate the semi-annual interest rate and number of payments:**
- Principal (P) = K6000
- Annual interest rate (r) = 16% = 0.16
- Semi-annual interest rate (i) = 0.16/2 = 0.08
- Number of payments (n) = 3 years × 2 = 6 payments
2. **Formula for calculating payment (A):**
We use the formula for annuity payments:
\[
A = \frac{P \cdot i}{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}
\]
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[
A = \frac{6000 \cdot 0.08}{1 - (1 + 0.08)^{-6}}
\]
3. **Calculate the denominator:**
- Calculate \( (1 + i)^{-n} = (1 + 0.08)^{-6} = (1.08)^{-6} \approx 0.59345 \)
- \( 1 - (1 + 0.08)^{-6} \approx 1 - 0.59345 = 0.40655 \)
4. **Calculate the payment:**
\[
A = \frac{6000 \cdot 0.08}{0.40655} = \frac{480}{0.40655} \approx 1180.27
\]
Thus, each semi-annual payment is approximately **K1180.27**.
5. **Create the amortization schedule:**
- **Columns:** Payment, Interest, Principal, Balance
- **Starting balance** = K6000.
- Each payment divides into interest and principal, reducing the balance.
Payment Schedule:
| Payment No. | Payment | Interest (8%) | Principal (Payment - Interest) | Remaining Balance |
|-------------|---------|----------------|-------------------------------|-------------------|
| 1 | 1180.27 | 480.00 | 700.27 | 5300.00 |
| 2 | 1180.27 | 424.00 | 756.27 | 4543.73 |
| 3 | 1180.27 | 363.50 | 816.77 | 3726.96 |
| 4 | 1180.27 | 298.16 | 882.11 | 2844.85 |
| 5 | 1180.27 | 227.59 | 952.68 | 1892.17 |
| 6 | 1180.27 | 151.37 | 1028.90 | 863.28 |
#### b) Moving Average and Seasonal Variations
1. **3-month moving average:**
Calculate the average for each three consecutive months:
- Month 1-3: \((10 + 8 + 12)/3 = 10\)
- Month 2-4: \((8 + 12 + 5)/3 \approx 8.33\)
- Month 3-5: \((12 + 5 + 7)/3 = 8\)
- Month 4-6: \((5 + 7 + 10)/3 \approx 7.33\)
- Month 5-7: \((7 + 10 + 9)/3 = 8.67\)
- Month 6-8: \((10 + 9 + 12)/3 = 10.33\)
**3-Month Moving Averages:**
| Month | 3-Month Moving Average |
|-------|------------------------|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 8.33 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 7.33 |
| 5 | 8.67 |
| 6 | 10.33 |
| 7 | - |
| 8 | - |
2. **Seasonal Variation:**
- Calculate seasonal variation as the actual values minus the moving average.
Example for Month 1:
- Month 1 Actual: 10 - 10 = 0
- Month 2 Actual: 8 - 8.33 = -0.33, and so on.
#### c) Differentiate \( Y = 6X^5 + 10X^4 - 24X^3 + 8X^2 \)
1. Apply power rule for differentiation.
- \( \frac{dY}{dX} = 30X^4 + 40X^3 - 72X^2 + 16X \)
### QUESTION SEVEN
#### a) Histogram of Salaries
To draw a histogram:
1. X-axis: Salary groups (Bins)
2. Y-axis: Number of Employees
| Salary Range | Frequency |
|-------------------|-----------|
| 0 to 30 | 5 |
| 30 to 40 | 40 |
| 40 to 50 | 10 |
| 50 to 60 | 18 |
| 60 to 70 | 15 |
| 70 to 80 | 8 |
**Histogram construction:**
- Draw bars for each salary category where height corresponds to the number of employees.
##### Modal Salary
- The modal salary can be found by looking for the highest bar in the histogram.
- From the data, "30 and less" has the highest frequency (40), so it is the modal salary.
#### b) Correlation and Analysis
1. **Correlation Coefficient (r):**
Use the formula:
\[
r = \frac{n(\Sigma XY) - (\Sigma X)(\Sigma Y)}{\sqrt{[n \Sigma X^2 - (\Sigma X)^2][n \Sigma Y^2 - (\Sigma Y)^2]}}
\]
- From the data, calculate ΣX, ΣY, ΣXY, ΣX², ΣY².
Values:
| X | Y | XY | X² | Y² |
|---|---|----|----|----|
| 1 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 25 |
| 2 | 10| 20 | 4 | 100 |
| 2 | 15| 30 | 4 | 225 |
| 4 | 20| 80 | 16 | 400 |
- Sum totals:
- \( n = 4, \Sigma X = 9, \Sigma Y = 50, \Sigma XY = 135, \Sigma X^2 = 25, \Sigma Y^2 = 750 \)
Substitute back into \( r \) formula to find the correlation coefficient.
2. **Coefficient of Determination (R²)**:
- Calculate by squaring the correlation coefficient \( r \).
This concludes the answers for the given problems with detailed steps and calculations. If you have any specific calculations or parts you'd like to delve into further, feel free to ask!
