3 Chapter Financial decisions 9 Wages and salaries Self-employed people charge a fee for their service or sell goods for a profit. Employees may be paid for their work in a variety of ways. A wage is based on a fixed rate per hour. Hours worked outside the normal work period are paid at a higher rate. A salary is a fixed annual (yearly) amount, usually paid fortnightly or monthly. There is no extra pay for hours outside the normal work period but time off in lieu may be arranged. WORKED Example Susan has an annual salary of $ How much is she paid: a weekly? b fortnightly? c monthly? a Annual means per year, so divide the salary by 5 because there are 5 weeks in a year, a Weekly salary = $ $43.84 and round to decimal places.

11 Chapter Financial decisions 7 Commission and royalties Commission is a method of payment used mainly for salespeople. The commission paid is usually calculated as a percentage of the value of goods sold. A royalty is a payment made to a person who owns a copyright. For example a musician who writes a piece of music is paid a royalty on CD sales. An author who writes a book is also paid a royalty based on the number of books sold. Royalties are calculated in the same way as commission; that is, as a percentage of sales. WORKED Example 7 Jack is a songwriter who is paid a royalty of % on all sales. Calculate the royalty that Jack earns if a song he writes sells CDs to the value of $ Find the royalty by calculating % of $ Answer the question in a sentence. Royalty = % of $ = 0. $ = $8 000 Jack earns $8 000 in royalties. In some cases a sales representative is paid a small wage or retainer plus a percentage of the value of the goods or services sold. WORKED Example A car salesperson is paid a retainer of $350 per week plus a commission of 8% of the profits made by the company on cars sold. a How much does the salesperson earn in a week when no sales are made? b How much does the salesperson earn in a week during which a $5000 profit was generated by that person s sales? a If no sales are made, only the retainer is a The salesperson is paid only the retainer, paid. which is $350. b State the retainer. b Retainer = $350 Find the commission paid by finding the percentage of the profits Commission = 8% of $5000 = 0.08 $5000 = $400 Find the total earnings by adding the Total earnings = $350 + $400 commission to the retainer. = $750 Answer the question in a sentence. The salesperson earns $750.

12 8 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 In other examples, the commission may be paid on a sliding scale. This means that a different percentage is calculated on different parts of the sale price.

16 3 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 Gross and net pay Although we may calculate a person s pay, this is not the amount that is actually received. The amount that we calculate, based on their wage or salary, is called gross pay or gross wage. From your gross pay, several deductions may be made for items such as tax, union fees, private health insurance, superannuation and so on. The amount left after these deductions have been taken out is called the net pay and it is this amount that you actually receive. To calculate an employee s net pay we subtract any deductions from the gross pay. WORKED Example 0 Jill s gross pay is $ per week. Jill has deductions for tax of $4.55, superannuation of $.50 and union fees of $0.80. Calculate Jill s net pay. From $ (gross pay) subtract $4.55 (tax), $.50 (superannuation) and $0.80 (union fees). Net pay = $ $4.55 $.50 $0.80 Net pay = $530 In some cases you will be required to calculate the size of a deduction based on either an annual amount or a percentage. WORKED Example Bill is a mechanic and he has his union fees deducted from his pay each week. If the annual union fee is $58.70, calculate the size of Bill s weekly union deduction. Divide $58.70 (the annual union fee) by 5. Round the answer off to the nearest cent. Weekly deduction = $ Weekly deduction = $. WORKED Example Sam is a salary earner and her gross fortnightly salary is $86. Sam pays 4% of her gross pay each fortnight in superannuation. Calculate how much is deducted from Sam s pay each fortnight for superannuation. Calculate 4% of $86 (gross pay). Superannuation = 4% of $86 Superannuation = 0.04 $86 Superannuation = $74.48

17 remember remember Chapter Financial decisions 33. Gross pay refers to pay before any deductions are made.. Net pay refers to the pay received after deductions have been taken out. Net pay = gross pay deductions 3. Some deductions are calculated on an annual basis and then taken out in equal weekly or fortnightly amounts. 4. Some deductions are calculated as a percentage of gross earnings. E Gross and net pay WORKED Example 0 Brian is a bricklayer and his gross pay is $ per week. His weekly deductions are $4.50 for tax, $5.70 for superannuation and $8.50 for health fund contributions. Calculate Brian s net pay each week. Copy and complete the table below.

She and her co-workers are paid for each piece or article of clothing completed. A large travel company has placed an order for slacks, skirts, shirts and coats for their workers. Because these articles require a different time to complete, they all attract a different piece rate. A bonus rate applies to articles produced beyond the expected daily rate. The daily rates and expected daily output for each type of garment are as follows: slacks $0 each for the first 0 pairs, then $.50 for each pair thereafter skirts $7.50 each for the first 3 skirts, then $9.40 for each skirt thereafter shirts $8.50 each for the first shirts, then $0.60 for each additional shirt coats $6.50 each for the first 6 coats, then $0.60 for each additional coat What daily wage could a worker expect for producing the expected daily output of each of the items? Compare the bonus piece rate with the normal piece rate. 3 On Monday, Margaret completed 5 shirts. How much did she earn that day? 4 What is the minimum number of coats that she would need to sew on Tuesday to earn more than she earned on Monday?

21 Chapter Financial decisions 37 Budgeting Once we have earned money we need to allocate the money to cover our expenses; otherwise, we may spend more than we earn! Allocating money to cover expenses is called making a budget. A budget is divided into two parts: income and expenditure. A budget is balanced when income and expenditure are equal. Consider the budget below, drawn up for Tanya, who earns a net wage of $700. Income Expenditure Wages $700 Rent Groceries Bills Car loan Car running costs Entertainment Credit card Savings $50 $00 $00 $75 $50 $60 $50 $5 Total $700 Total $700 When designing a budget, it is important to look for all your expenses and set money aside for them. For example, electricity bills arrive every 3 months and money should be set aside each week so that when the bill does arrive you have the money to pay for it. The amount set aside should be based on the normal amount of the bill over a year, with that amount divided into weekly or fortnightly amounts. For bills such as electricity and telephone, an extra amount should be allowed, as you do not know the exact amount of the bill until it arrives. Such an allowance covers the possibilities of a price rise or increased usage. This is not necessary for bills such as council rates or insurance, as these are known in advance. Ben receives four electricity bills each year. For the previous year they were for $36, $87, $69 and $05. How much should Ben budget for electricity bills out of each week s pay? We should allow an extra 0% to cover the possibility of price increases or extra usage. 3 4 WORKED Example 3 Calculate the total of the previous years Annual total = $36 + $87 + $69 + $05 bills. Annual total = $597 To calculate the weekly amount, divide Weekly amount = $597 5 $597 by 5. Weekly amount = $.48 Increase $.48 by 0%. 0% of $.48 = $.6 Make a practical approximation of the Ben should budget $.50 per week to cover answer. the electricity. Some bills are calculated over different lengths of time, so the simplest way to develop a budget is to calculate all bills over a year.

22 38 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 WORKED Example 4 Marlene has the following bills. Electricity $0 every months Telephone $95 per quarter Car insurance $54 every 6 months Rates $50 per year Calculate the total amount that Marlene should budget for all of these bills each fortnight, allowing for an extra 0% to cover possible increases. Calculate the total annual amount for electricity. Electricity = $0 6 Electricity = $660 Calculate the total annual amount for telephone. Telephone = $95 4 Telephone = $380 3 Calculate the total annual amount for car insurance. Car insurance = $54 Car insurance = $508 4 Calculate the total annual amount for Rates = $50 rates. 5 Find the annual total for all of these bills. Total = $660 + $380 + $508 + $50 Total = $798 6 Increase $798 by 0%. 0% of $798 = 0 00 $798 0% of $798 = $ Divide $ by 6. Fortnightly allowance = $ Fortnightly allowance = $ Round off and give a written answer. Marlene should allow about $8 per fortnight to cover her bills. To bring a budget into balance, any money that is not spent can be saved. The amount saved can be calculated by subtracting the expenses to which we are committed from the total earnings. WORKED Example 5 Peter earns $950 per fortnight. He allows $0 per fortnight for his bills, $50 per fortnight for groceries, $70 per fortnight for car running costs and $80 per fortnight for entertainment. Peter also has a mortgage for which the payment is $600 per month. a Calculate the amount Peter should allocate each fortnight for his mortgage. b Calculate the amount of money Peter can save each fortnight. c Draw up a budget for Peter, showing his income and expenditure. a Calculate the annual mortgage amount. a Annual mortgage = $600 Annual mortgage = $700 Calculate the fortnightly amount by dividing by 6. Fortnightly amount = $700 6 Fortnightly amount = $76.9 b Calculate total expenses. b Total expenses = $ $0 + $50 + $70 + $80 Total expenses = $786.9 Calculate savings by subtracting all expenses from $950. Savings = $950 $76.9 Savings = $63.08

Calculating GST and VAT The Australian government has introduced a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on most items purchased. At the moment, the tax amounts to 0% of the purchase price of the item, but this percentage is subject to change at any time the government decides to do so. Some items (fresh food, some educational costs and some medical costs) are exempt from the tax. In calculating the GST payable on an item, we simply calculate 0% of the purchase price.

32 48 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 WORKED Example 7 A CD player has a pre-gst price of $89. Calculate the GST payable on the purchase of the player. Calculate 0% of $89. GST payable = 0% of $89 = 0. $89 = $8.90 When calculating the amount required to purchase an item, you will need to add the GST to the pre-tax price. The quickest way to do this will be to calculate 0% of the pre-tax price. By using this method we add the 0% GST to 00%, which represents the cost of the item. In this way there is only one calculation to make. WORKED Example 8 The Campbell family goes to the Pizza Hut for lunch. The cost of the meal is $3.80 not including the GST. How much will the Campbells have to pay for the meal, including the GST? Calculate 0% of $3.80. Total cost = 0% of $3.80 =. $3.80 = $36.08 Give a written answer, rounding your answer to the nearest 5c. The cost of the meal will be $36.0. When you are given the total cost of an item, including GST, to calculate the pre-tax price of the item we need to reverse the above process. This means that we need to divide the total cost by 0%, written as a decimal fraction. WORKED Example 9 Calculate the pre-tax price of a car that costs $ 945, including GST. Total cost is 0% of the price. The pre-tax price is total cost divided by.. Price = $ 945. = $9 950 Taxes similar to the GST apply in many countries. These taxes are levied at different percentages in different countries and in many cases are called value added tax (VAT). The methods used to calculate the amount of VAT are the same as for Australia s GST; however, the rate must be checked for each question.

33 Chapter Financial decisions 49 WORKED Example 0 New Zealand has a VAT levied at a rate of.5%. Rebecca goes on holidays to New Zealand and rents a car for five days at a rate of $NZ4.75 per day. Calculate the total cost of renting the car including the VAT. Calculate the cost of the car by multiplying the daily rate by the number of days. Add the VAT by calculating.5% of the cost. Cost = $NZ = $NZ3.75 Total cost =.5% of $NZ3.75 = $NZ40.47 Note that in other countries there may be c and c pieces and so we do not take the answer to the nearest 5c. Also, if paying by credit card, the exact amount is charged, rather than an amount rounded to the nearest 5c. remember remember. The GST is a tax of 0% of the purchase price of all items other than a few exemptions.. To calculate the amount of GST payable, calculate 0% of the purchase price. 3. To calculate the total cost of an item, including the GST, calculate 0% of the pre-tax price. 4. To calculate the price of an item when you are given the total cost, including the GST, divide the total cost by 0%. 5. A value added tax (VAT) is similar to the GST that is applied in many countries. The VAT rate varies between countries; however, the same methods of calculation are used as for our GST.

Provide a written response, supported by mathematical calculations, for each. At a 5% off storewide sale, I saved quite a bit on the items I bought. If the discount had been 0%, I would have saved another $5. If a store marks an item up by 0%, then offers a discount of 0%, it ends up at the same price. 3 If a store offers 0% discount at a sale, then another 5% discount for paying cash, I would save more money if the 0% discount was taken off before the 5% discount. 4 If a store marks up its items by 50%, this represents a profit of one-third of the sale price. 5 The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Australia is 0%. If you take the final price of an item after GST has been added and divide that amount by, it will give you the value of the GST.

36 iinvestigation 5 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 nvestigation Examining bank fees and taxes Once we have earned money we use a bank or similar financial institution to look after it until we need it. When we deposit money in the bank the bank pays interest on that account. However, for many accounts where we need instant access to our money the interest paid is very low and there may be fees associated with using the account. Find three bank accounts into which your pay could be deposited electronically. Answer the following questions about them. a What is the interest rate payable on the account? b Is there a minimum balance that must be maintained in the account? c What are the features of this account? (For example, do you get a cheque book?) d Is there a monthly management fee on the account? e How many free transactions are you allowed each month? What are the charges for exceeding this number of transactions? f Are the transaction fees applied differently to deposits and withdrawals?

38 54 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 Last year we looked at investing money at a simple interest rate. We will now consider compound interest as an alternative to simple interest investments. Compound interest In practice, most investments are not calculated using simple interest. If you have a bank account, you would know that when interest is paid the balance of your account grows and it is on this new balance that your next interest payment is calculated. When interest is added to the principal and this new balance is used to calculate the next interest payment, this is called compound interest. We can calculate compound interest by calculating simple interest one period at a time. The amount to which the initial investment grows is called the compounded value or future value. Calculate the future value of an investment of $0 000 at 0% p.a. for 3 years with interest paid at the end of each year, by calculating the simple interest for each year separately. Write the initial principal. Initial principal = $0 000 Calculate the interest for the st year. st year s interest = 0% of $0 000 = $000 3 Calculate the nd year s principal by adding the st year s interest to the nd year s principal = $ $000 = $ 000 initial principal. Calculate the nd year s interest. nd year s interest = 0% of $ WORKED Example Calculate the 3rd year s principal by adding the nd year s interest to the nd year s principal. = $00 3rd year s principal = $ $00 = $ 00 Calculate the 3rd year s interest. 3rd year s interest = 0% of $ 00 = $0 Calculate the future value of the Future value = $ 00 + $0 investment by adding the 3rd year s = $3 30 interest to the 3rd year s principal. To calculate the actual amount of interest received, we subtract the initial principal from the future value. In the example above, the compound interest, CI = $3 30 $0 000 = $330 To compare this with simple interest earnings at the same rate: PrT I = $ = = $3000

39 Chapter Financial decisions 55 The table below shows a comparison between the value of an investment of $0 000 earning 0% p.a. at both simple interest and compound interest. Year I $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ CI $ $00.00 $ $ $605.0 $775.6 $ $ We can develop a formula for the future value of an investment rather than do each example by repeated use of simple interest. Consider worked example. Let the compounded value after each year be A n. After year A = (increasing $0 000 by 0%) After years A = A (.) = (substituting the value of A ) = After 3 years A 3 = A. = = The pattern then continues such that the value of the investment after n years equals: $ n We can generalise this example to any investment. A = P( + r) n Where A = amount (or future value) of the investment P = principal (or present value) r = interest rate per compounding period expressed as a decimal fraction n = number of compounding periods. Calculate the future value of an investment of $ 000 at 7% p.a. for 5 years, where interest is compounded annually. Write down the formula for the future A = P( + r) n value. Write down the value of P, r (as a P = $ 000, r = 0.07, n = 5 decimal fraction) and n. 3 Substitute into the formula. A = $ Calculate. = $ WORKED Example In the above example interest is paid annually; however, this is not always the case. In many cases interest is paid more often. It may be paid six-monthly, quarterly, monthly or even daily. This is called the compounding period. If interest is paid more often than annually, the value of n is the number of compounding periods during the investment. The interest rate then needs to be converted from a rate per annum to a rate per compounding period.

40 56 Maths Quest for Queensland Book 3 For example, consider an investment of $6000 at 8% p.a. for years with interest compounded quarterly. Interest is paid four times per year and therefore eight times in years. Therefore n = 8. The interest rate must be calculated per quarter. This is done by dividing the annual rate by four. Therefore, in this example the rate is % per quarter, hence r = 0.0. Calculate the future value of an investment of $6000 at 8% p.a. for years with interest compounded quarterly. Write down the formula for A = P( + r) n the future value. Write down the value of P, r P = $6000, r = 0.0, n = 8 (as a decimal fraction) and n. 3 Substitute into the formula. A = $ Calculate. = $ WORKED Example 3 remember remember. The future value of an investment under compound interest can be calculated by calculating the simple interest for each year separately.. The formula used to calculate the future value of an investment is A = P( + r) n. 3. In the formula, n is the number of compounding periods over the term of the investment and r is the interest rate per compounding period. To find r, divide the interest rate per annum by the number of compounding periods per year. H Compound interest WORKED Example WORKED Example Ray has $5000 to invest. He invests it for 3 years at 0% p.a., with interest paid annually. Calculate the future value of the investment by calculating the simple interest on each year separately. Suzanne is to invest $5 000 for years at 7% p.a., with interest paid annually. Calculate the future value of the investment by calculating the simple interest for each year separately. 3 Kiri has $000 to invest. She invests the money at 8% p.a. for 5 years, with interest compounded annually. Use the formula A = P( + r) n to calculate the future value of Kiri s investment.
