Content
Year 12 – Standard 1
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MST-12-S1-03
solves problems involving interest and depreciation to make decisions about loans and credit cards
- Apply the straight-line depreciation method to calculate the depreciation of an asset using the formula where = salvage value, = initial value of the asset, = depreciation amount per time period and = number of time periods
- Apply the declining balance method to calculate the depreciation of an asset using the formula where = salvage value, = initial value of the asset, = depreciation rate per time period and = number of time periods
Explain the similarities and differences between the declining balance formula and the Loading formula
Compare straight-line depreciation and Loading either numerically or from a given Loading
Use a spreadsheet to model depreciation using the straight-line and declining balance methods
Compare and analyse the Loading associated with Loading , short term and long term Loading
Model a Loading as an application of compound interest, given the Loading per time period, with periodic Loading , using a table for up to three time periods
Examine the effect of changing the repayment frequency, making additional repayments or a making a Loading on the term and cost of repaying a loan
Use a spreadsheet to model and solve problems involving a reducing balance loan in a variety of contexts
Explain how Loading are an example of a reducing balance loan
Compare credit card interest rates with interest rates for other loan types
Identify the various fees and charges associated with credit card usage, and explain the meaning of an Loading
Interpret a credit card statement, examining the implications of only making the Loading
Calculate the compound interest charged on a Loading or outstanding Loading for a given number of days
Compare credit cards and personal loans as options to meet short-term, medium-term and long-term financial goals
