READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name and CT group on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the test, fasten all your work securely together.

This document consists of 4 printed pages.

9 [Give all answers correct to the nearest dollar.] Mr Tan decides to set up a scholarship fund for worthy students. On 1 January 2013, he

places this scholarship fund in a bank investment which guarantees an annual interest rate of 2.5%. This interest is added to the fund at the end of each year. The annual scholarship award of $2000 is first awarded on 1 January 2014. (i) To award the scholarship for year 2014, find the minimum amount of money $k that

Mr Tan needs for the fund. If the annual scholarship is to be given out for years 2014 and 2015, show that in addition to $k , Mr Tan will need at least a further $1904, correct to the nearest dollar, for the fund. [3]
