Answer all question in this section

1. Mr. Faris places a fix deposit of RM 10 000.00 in a bank, earning a simple interest of 16% per
annum. Mr. Fung places the same amount of fixed deposit which is enables Mr Fung to earn an
annual interest of 13% compounded every 3 months.
Determine whether Mr. Faris or Mr. Fung earns more interest at the end of
(a) 3 years [3m]
(b) 6 years [3m]

2. The demand for a campus newspaper is 2300 copies each week if the newspaper is free of charge,
it drops to 1300 copies each week if the new paper cost RM 0.25 per copy. The university is
prepared to supply 500 copies each week free of charge or alternatively 2000 copies each week at
RM 0.30 per copy.
(a) Find the linear demand and supply functions. [4m]
(b) Determine the price at which the newspaper is to be sold so that there is
neither a shortage nor a surplus. [2m]

3. A chemical company produces two types of organic fertilisers at its factory. Three types of raw
materials P, Q and R are mixed to produce Type X and Type Y fertilisers. Each ton of Type X
fertiliser is a mixture of 0.4 ton of P and 0.6 ton of R, while each ton of Type Y fertilisers is a
mixture of 0.5 ton of P, 0.2 ton of Q and 0.3 ton of R. The profit yields for each ton of Type X and
Type Y fertilisers are RM 400 and RM 300 respectively. The quantities of raw materials useable
per week are shown in the following table.
