No evidence of comparison will result in a -2 mark penalty. Evidence would be comparing your recommendation with at least two other loan products which also match all the conditions below.

d) Today, Mr and Mrs Monash have

$1,200.00

of disposable income to service their debt at each loan repayment period.

Assuming, their income increases by the current rate of annual inflation, will they be able to afford the periodic loan repayment needed for the loan?

If not, by what nominal annual percentage will they have to grow their disposable income available to service the loan in the future when they buy their house?

If their future income is greater than the loan repayment required, by what percentage is their income greater than the loan payment required?

Task 2:

$100,000 to invest today

a) Given what Mr. and Mrs. Monash have to invest today, apply financial math and calculate the future value of investing in your recommended term deposit today,

for when Mr and Mrs Monash need to buy their house. (show your formula, substitution and working, missing financial math will result in a -4 mark penalty)

b) Do Mr. and Mrs. have enough now, to pay for their deposit in the future? If yes, by what percentage are they over their deposit.

If not, with the term deposit investment, will they have saved enough to pay for their deposit in the future? If not, by what percentage are they under their deposit.
