What Is a Sinking Fund?
A sinking fund contains money set aside or saved to pay off a debt or bond. A company that issues debt will
need to pay that debt off in the future, and the sinking fund helps to soften the hardship of a large outlay of
revenue. A sinking fund allows companies that have floated debt in the form of bonds gradually save money and
avoid a large lump-sum payment at maturity.
Example:
Cost of Machine: ₹2,00,000/-
Effective Life: 7 Years
Scrap Value: ₹30,000/-
Sinking Fund Earning Rate: 5%
The Expected Cost of New Machine: ₹3,00,000/-
(i) What is the money required for a new machine after 7 years?
(ii) What is the value of A, i and n here?
(iii) What formula will you use to get the requisite amount?

What amount should the company put into a sinking fund earning 5% per annum to replace the machine
after its useful life?

notebooks, 13 dozen pens and 8 dozen pencils. A notebook costs 40 paise, a pen costs ₹1.25 and a pencil costs
35 paise. Use matrix multiplication to calculate each individual's bill.
