are R23 235 deposit and the rest paid in equal quarterly payments of R13 292,48 at the end

Answer 1

The question does not describe whether interest on deposit or a percentage of depreciation are given.

$FV=Pv(1+\frac{i}{m})^{mn}=23235*(1+\frac{11.5}{4})^{16}=23235(1.02875)^{16}=36 567.92$

$\frac{36567.92}{16}=2285.495$
