Abongile, the manager of a construction company is renovating a home and has expenses of R200 000,00
now and another R41 812,00 in six months’ time. As he finds it difficult to find the cash now, he proposes
to settle all the debt after six months with a single payment. The debt is subject to an interest rate of 9,5%
per annum, compounded quarterly. What is the value of the payment that will settle his debt at the end of
month six?

Bongeka purchased a new refrigerator and were expected to pay R1 684,00 five months ago and another
R1 323,00 in eight months’ time. She could not make the payment five months ago, but after receiving a
bonus at work, she rescheduled to repay the loan in two equal payments, the first due in two months and the
second due in five months’ time. The payment at month five will settle the debt, therefore, the settlement
date is month five. The debts and payments are subject to the same interest rate of 11,4% per annum,
compounded monthly.

Consider a two-player game where the player A chooses “up” or “down” and player B chooses
“left” or “right” Their payoffs are as follows: When player A chooses “up” and player B
chooses “left” they both get $3. When player A chooses “up” and player B chooses “right”
they get $2(for A) and $4(for B). When player A chooses “down” and player B chooses
“left” they get $1(for A) and $6(for B). Finally, when player A chooses “down” and player
B chooses “right” they both get $5. The two players decide simultaneously.
