6. A company writes off 6.4% per annum for one of its storage sheds with the current value of $190 000. Which method gives the greatest depreciation over 5 years , and by how much? You should use relevant calculations to support your answers. (3 marks)
7. Sarah has just won $75 000 on a scratch card (lucky Sarah!). She decides to spend $17 000 straight away to pay off her car and go on a holiday, and invest the rest in a fixed term account for 1 year to use as a house deposit later on. Sarah has the choice of accounts that offer
(i) simple interest at 3.80%,
(ii) 3.75% with interest compounded weekly or
(iii) 3.73% with interest compounded daily. Which account should she choose? Justify your answer with relevant calculations. (4 marks) Page 7 of 7 8.
