Stop Order: A Stop Order is an instruction to the bank to deduct a fixed amount of money from a
person's account every month and then to pay this money to someone else.
ATM: An ATM is an Automated Teller Machine. ATMs are usually found outside a bank and
enable you to draw money from or deposit money into your account without having to go
into the bank.
Service fee: An amount deducted by the bank for each transaction made on the account.
Interest: Interest is the reward that a bank will pay its clients for investing money with the bank.
Interest rate: This is the rate (expressed as a percentage) at which a person is rewarded for money that
has been invested in the bank.
(a) (i) Why do some of the values in the Transaction Amount column have minus
signs in front of them? (1)
(ii) How much money was in the account on 18 February? (1)
(b) (i) Calculate the missing Service Fee for 5 February. (1)
(ii) Calculate the missing Account Balance for 9 February. (1)
(c) Bongani sees in an i-Moocha Moola Bank brochure that the service fee for withdrawing
money from a savings account at an i-Moocha Moola Bank branch is calculated using the
formula:
Service fee = R20,00 + 0,95% of the amount withdrawn
Bongani decides to use the formula to see how the service fee for the withdrawal made on
15 February was calculated, but he makes several mistakes and ends up with the wrong
answer. Below are his calculations.
Service fee = R20,00 + 0,95% of R1 800,00
= R20,00 + 0,095 R1 800,00
= R20,095 R1 800,00
= R36,17
(i) Explain where Bongani has made mistakes in his calculations. (3)
(ii) Show that the service fee of R37,10 given on the bank statement is correct. (2)
(d) (i) If the i-Moocha Moola bank calculates interest monthly, calculate the monthly
rate at which interest will be calculated on the money in Bongani's account. (1)
(ii) If the i-Moocha Moola bank calculates interest monthly, calculate how much
interest Bongani will earn on the closing balance of R2 361,58 in February. (2)
(iii) Compare the interest that Bongani earns on the money in his account to the total
amount that he pays in service fees for the month and make a deduction about
whether Bongani is making or losing money by keeping his money in a bank
account. (2)
(iv) Why do you think people keep their money in bank accounts? (1)
(e) The table below shows the transaction fees for money deposited into and withdrawn
from a Big-Bucks Bank savings account.
