(IV) Solve the following problems.

Question 1.
A house valued at ₹ 8,00,000 is insured at 75% of its value. If the rate of premium is 0.80%. Find the premium paid by the owner of the house. If the agent’s commission is 9% of the premium, find the agent’s commission.
Solution:
Property value = ₹ 8,00,000
Policy value = 75% × 8,00,000 = ₹ 6,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 0.80%
∴ Amount of Premium = 0.80% × 6,00,000 = ₹ 4,800
∵ Rate of commission = 9%
∴ Agent commission = 9% × 4800 = ₹ 432

Question 2.
A shopkeeper insures his shop and godown are valued at ₹ 5,00,000 and ₹ 10,00,000 respectively for 80% of their values. If the rate of premium is 8%, find the total annual premium.
Solution:
Property value of shop = ₹ 5,00,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 5,00,000 = ₹ 4,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 8%
∴ Amount of premium = 8% × 4,00,000 = ₹ 32,000
∵ Property value of Godown = ₹ 10,00,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 10,00,000 = ₹ 8,00,000
∵ Rate of Premium = 8%
∴ Amount of Premium = 8% × 8,00,000 = ₹ 64,000
∴ Total annual Premium = 64,000 + 32,000 = ₹ 96,000

Question 3.
A factory building is insured for $$\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{\text {th }}$$ of its value at a rate of premium of 2.50%. If the agent is paid a commission of ₹ 2,812.50, which is 7.5% of the premium, find the value of the building.
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ Policy value = ₹ $$\frac{5 x}{6}$$
∵ Rate of premium = 2.50%
∴ Amount of premium = $$\frac{5 x}{6}$$ × 2.50% = ₹ $$\frac{x}{48}$$
∵ Rate of Agent commission = 7.5%
∴ Agent commission = 7.5% × $$\frac{x}{48}$$
∴ 2812.50 = $$\frac{x}{640}$$
∴ 2812.50 × 640 = x
∴ x = ₹ 18,00,000
∴ Value of the building is ₹ 18,00,000.

Question 4.
A merchant takes a fire insurance policy to cover 80% of the value of his stock. Stock worth ₹ 80,000 was completely destroyed in a fire. While the rest of the stock was reduced to 20% of its value. If the proportional compensation under the policy was ₹ 67,200, find the value of the stock.
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ Policy value 80% × x = ₹ $$\frac{4 x}{5}$$
∵ Complete loss = ₹ 80,000
∴ Partial loss = 20% × (x – 8,00,000) = $$\frac{x-80,000}{5}$$
∴ Total loss = 80,000 + $$\frac{x-80,000}{5}$$ = $$\frac{x}{5}$$ + 64,000
∵ Claim = ₹ 67,200

∴ x = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ The value of the stock is ₹ 1,00,000.

Question 5.
A 35-year old person takes a policy for ₹ 1,00,000 for a period of 20 years. The rate of premium is ₹ 76 and the average rate of bonus is ₹ 7 per thousand p.a. If he dies after paying 10 annual premiums, what amount will his nominee receive?
Solution:
Policy value = ₹ 1,00,000
Period of Policy = 20 years
∵ Rate of premium = ₹ 76 per thousand
∴ Amount of premium = $$\frac{76}{1,000}$$ × 1,00,000 = ₹ 7,600
∴ Total Premium = 7,600 × 10 = ₹ 76,000
∴ Rate of Bonus = ₹ 7 per thousand p.a
∴ Total Bonus = $$\frac{7}{1,000}$$ × 1,00,000 = ₹ 7,000
∴ Amount received by Nominee = Policy value + Bonus earned
= 1,00,000 + 7,000
= ₹ 1,07,000

Question 6.
15,000 articles costing ₹ 200 per dozen were insured against fire for ₹ 1,00,000. If 20% of the articles were burnt completely and 2,400 other articles were damaged to the extent of 80% of their value, find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
Total Articles = 15,000
∴ Property value = $$\frac{15,000}{12}$$ × 200 = 2,50,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 1,00,000
∴ Complete loss = 20% × 2,50,000 = ₹ 50,000
∴ Partial loss = 80% × $$\frac{2,400}{12}$$ × 200 = ₹ 3,20,000
∴ Total loss = 32,000 + 50,000 = ₹ 82,000
∴ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{1,00,000}{2,50,000}$$ × 82,000
= ₹ 32,800

Question 7.
For what amount should a cargo worth ₹ 25,350 be insured so that in the event of a total loss, its value, as well as the cost of insurance, may be recovered when the rate of premium is 2.5%.
Solution:
Let the policy value be ₹ 100 which includes the cost of insurance and premium
∴ Property value = 100 – 2.50 = ₹ 97.50
If the value of the cargo is ₹ 97.50, then the policy value is ₹ 100.
If the value of the cargo is ₹ 25,350, then
Policy value = $$\frac{100 \times 25,350}{97.50}$$ = ₹ 26,000

Question 8.
A cargo of grain is insured at $$\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$% to cover 70% of its value. ₹1,008 is the amount of premium paid. If the grain is worth ₹ 12 per kg, how many kg of the grain did the cargo contain?
Solution:
Let the Property value be ₹ x
∴ policy value = 70% × x = ₹ $$\frac{7 x}{10}$$
∵ Rate of premium = $$\frac{3}{4}$$%
∴ Amount of premium = Rate × Policy value

∴ x = ₹ 1,92,000
∵ Rate of Jowar = ₹ 12/kg
∴ Quantity of Jowar = $$\frac{1,92,000}{12}$$ = 16,000 kgs

Question 9.
4,000 bedsheets worth ₹ 6,40,000 were insured for $$\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^{t h}$$ of their value. Some of
the bedsheets were damaged in the rainy season and were reduced to 40% of their value. If the amount recovered against damage was ₹ 32,000. Find the number of damaged bedsheets.
Solution:
∵ Property value = ₹ 6,40,000
∴ Policy value = 6,40,000 × $$\frac{3}{7}$$ = ₹ $$\frac{19,20,000}{7}$$
∴ Cost of one Bedsheet = $$\frac{6,40,000}{4,000}$$ = ₹ 160
Let ‘x’ bedsheets be damaged.
∴ Cost of x bedsheets = ₹ 160x

∴ 875 Bedsheets damaged.

Question 10.
A property valued at ₹ 7,00,000 is insured to the extent of ₹ 5,60,000 at $$\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)$$% less 20%. Calculate the saving made in the premium. Find the amount of loss that the owner must bear, including premium, if the property is damaged to the extent of 40% of its value.
Solution:
∵ Property value = ₹ 7,00,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 5,60,000
∵ Rate of premium = $$\frac{5}{8}$$%
∴ Amount of premium = $$\frac{5}{8}$$% × 5,60,000 = ₹ 3,500
New rate of premium = $$\frac{5}{8}$$% less 20%
= $$\frac{5}{8}$$ – [20% x $$\frac{5}{8}$$]
= $$\frac{5}{8}$$ – $$\frac{1}{8}$$
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$%
∴ Amount of premium = $$\frac{1}{2}$$% × 5,60,000 = ₹ 2,800
∴ Saving made in premium = 3,500 – 2,800 = ₹ 700
∴ Loss = 7,00,000 × 40% = 2,80,000
∴ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{5,60,000}{7,00,000}$$ × 2,80,000
= ₹ 2,24,000
∴ Loss bear by owner = loss – claim + premium
= 2,80,000 – 2,24,000 + 2,800
= ₹ 58,800

Question 11.
Stocks in a shop and godown worth ₹ 75,000 and ₹ 1,30,000 respectively were insured through an agent who receive 15% of the premium as commission. If the shop was insured for 80% and godown for 60% of the value, find the amount of agent’s commission when the premium was 0.80% less 20%. If the entire stock in the shop and 20% stock in the godown is destroyed by fire, find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
∵ Rate of premium = 0.80% less 20%
= 0.80 – 20% × 0.80
= 0.80 – 0.16
= 0.64%
For Shop
∵ Property value = ₹ 75,000
∴ Policy value = 80% × 75,000 = ₹ 60,000
∴ Premium = 0.64% × 60,000 = ₹ 384
∵ Loss = ₹ 75,000
∵ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{60,000}{75,000}$$ × 75,000
= ₹ 60,000
For Godown
∵ Property value = ₹ 1,30,000
∴ Policy value = 60% × 1,30,000 = ₹ 78,000
∴ Premium = 0.64% × 78,000 = ₹ 499.2
Loss = 20% × 1,30,000 = ₹ 26,000
∴ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{78,000}{1,30,000}$$ × 26,000
= ₹ 15,600
Total claim = 16,600 + 60,000 = ₹ 75,600
∵ Rate of commission = 15%
∴ Agent commission = 15% × [384 + 499.2]
= 15% × 883.2
= ₹ 132.48

Question 12.
A person holding a life policy of ₹ 1,20,000 for a term of 25 years wants to discontinue after paying a premium for 8 years at the rate of ₹ 58 per thousand p.a. Find the amount of paid-up value he will receive on the policy. Find the amount he will receive if the surrender value granted is 35% of the premium paid, excluding the first year’s premium.
Solution:
Policy value = ₹ 1,20,000
∵ Rate of premium = ₹ 58 per thousand p.a.
∴ Premium for 8 years = $$\frac{8 \times 58}{1000}$$ × 1,20,000 = ₹ 55,680
∴ Amount of 1st premium = $$\frac{55,680}{8}$$ = ₹ 6,960
∵ Paid-up value of policy = $$\frac{\text { No of Premium paid }}{\text { Terms of policy }}$$ × Policy value
= $$\frac{8}{25}$$ × 1,20,000
= ₹ 38,400
∵ Surrender value = 35% × [Total premium – 1st year premium]
= 35% × [55,680 – 6,960]
= 35% × 48,720
= ₹ 17,052

Question 13.
A godown valued at ₹ 80,000 contained stock worth ₹ 4,80,000. Both were insured against fire. Godown for ₹ 50,000 and stock for 80% of its value. A part of stock worth ₹ 60,000 was completely destroyed and the rest was reduced to 60% of its value. The amount of damage to the godown is ₹ 40,000. Find the amount that can be claimed under the policy.
Solution:
For Godown
∵ Property value = ₹ 80,000
∵ Policy value = ₹ 50,000
∵ Loss = ₹ 40,000
∵ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{50,000}{80,000}$$ × 40,000
= ₹ 25,000
For stock
∵ Property value = ₹ 4,80,000
∵ Policy value = 80% × 4,80,000 = ₹ 3,84,000
∵ Complete loss = ₹ 60,000
∴ Partial loss = (100 – 60)% × [4,80,000 – 60,000]
= 40% × 4,20,000
= ₹ 1,68,000
∴ Total loss = 1,68,000 + 60000 = ₹ 2,28,000
∴ Claim = $$\frac{\text { Policy value }}{\text { Property value }}$$ × Loss
= $$\frac{3,84,000}{4,80,000}$$ × 2,28,000
= ₹ 1,82,400
∴ Total claim = 25,000 + 1,82,400 = ₹ 2,07,400

Question 14.
Find the amount of an ordinary annuity if a payment of ₹ 500 is made at the end of every quarter for 5 years at the rate of 12% per annum compounded quarterly. [Given: (1.03)20 = 1.8061]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 500
∵ r = 12% p.a. compounded quarterly,
∴ r = $$\frac{12}{4}$$ = 3%
∵ n = 5 years
∴ n = 5 × 4 = 20

Question 15.
Find the amount a company should set aside at the end of every year if it wants to buy a machine expected to cost ₹ 1,00,000 at the end of 4 years and interest rate is 5% p.a. compounded annually.
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 1,00,000
∵ r = 5% p.a.
∴ i = $$\frac{r}{100}=\frac{5}{100}$$ = 0.05
∵ n = 4 years
∵ A = $$\frac{C}{i}\left[(1+\mathrm{i})^{n}-1\right]$$
∴ 1,00,000 = $$\frac{C}{0.05}$$[(1 + 0.05)4 – 1]
∴ 1,00,000 × 0.05 = C [(1.05)4 – 1]
∴ 5,000 = C(1.2155 – 1)
∴ 5,000 = C × 0.2155
∴ $$\frac{5,000}{0.2155}$$ = C
∴ C = ₹ 23,201.86

Question 16.
Find the least number of years for which an annuity of ₹ 3,000 per annum must run in order that its amount exceeds ₹ 60,000 at 10%compounded annually. [Given: (1.1)11 = 2,8531, (1.1)12 = 3.1384]
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 60,000
∵ C = ₹ 3,000
∵ r = 10% p.a.
∴ i = $$\frac{r}{100}=\frac{10}{100}$$ = 0.1
∵ A = $$\frac{C}{i}\left[(1+i)^{n}-1\right]$$
∴ 60,000 = $$\frac{3,000}{0.1}\left[(1+0.1)^{n}-1\right]$$
∴ 60,000 = 30,000[(1.1)n – 1]
∴ $$\frac{60,000}{30,000}$$ + 1 = (1.1)n
∴ 2 + 1 = (1.1)n
∴ 3 = (1.1)n
Taking log
∴ log 3 = log (1.1)n
∴ log 3 = n log(1.1)
∴ $$\frac{\log 3}{\log 1.1}$$ = n
∴ n = $$\frac{0.4771}{0.0414}$$ = 11.52 ~ 12 years

Question 17.
Find the rate of interest compounded annually if an ordinary annuity of ₹ 20,000 per year amounts to ₹ 41,000 in 2 years.
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 20,000
∵ A = ₹ 41,000
∵ n = 2 years

∴ r = 5% p.a.

Question 18.
A person purchases a television by paying ₹ 20,000 in cash and promising to pay ₹ 1,000 at the end of every month for the next 2 years. If money is worth 12% p.a., converted monthly. Find the cash price of the television. [Given: (1.01)-24 = 0.7880]
Solution:
Down payment = ₹ 20,000
∵ n = 2 years
But, EMI Payable monthly
∴ n = 2 × 12 = 24
∵ r = 12% p.a. compounded monthly

∴ P = 1,00,00 × 0.2120
∴ P = ₹ 21,200
Cash price = Present value + Down payment
= 21,200 + 20,000
= ₹ 41,200

Question 19.
Find the present value of an annuity immediate of ₹ 20,000 per annum for 3 years at 10% p.a. compounded annually. [Given: (1.1)-3 = 0.7513]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 20,000
∵ n = 3 years
∵ r = 10% p.a.

∴ P = 2,00,000 [1 – 0.7513]
∴ P = 2,00,000 [0.2487]
∴ P = ₹ 49,740

Question 20.
A man borrowed some money and paid it back in 3 equal installments of ₹ 2,160 each. What amount did he borrow if the rate of interest was 20% per annum compounded annually? Also, find the total interest charged. [Given: (1.2)-3 = 0.5788]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 2,160
∵ n = 3
∵ r = 20% p.a.

∴ P = ₹ 6,251.04
∴ Total amount paid = 2,160 × 3 = ₹ 6,480
∴ Interest = 6,480 – 6,251.04 = ₹ 228.96

Question 21.
A company decides to set aside a certain amount at the end of every year to create a sinking fund that should amount to ₹ 9,28,200 in 4 years at 10% p.a. Find the amount to be set aside every year. [Given: (1.1)4 = 1.4641]
Solution:
∵ A = ₹ 9,28,200
∵ n = 4 years
∵ r = 10% p.a.

∴ 9,28,200 × 0.1 = C[1.4641 – 1]
∴ 92,820 = C × 0.4641
∴ $$\frac{92,820}{0.4641}$$ = C
∴ C = ₹ 2,00,000

Question 22.
Find the future value after 2 years if an amount of ₹ 12,000 is invested at the end of every half-year at 12% p.a. compounded half-yearly. [Given: (1.06)4 = 1.2625]
Solution:
∵ n = 2 years
Payable half yearly, n = 2 × 2 = 4
∵ C = ₹ 12,000
∵ r = 12% p.a. Compounded half yearly

∴ A = 1,00,000 [1.2625 – 1]
∴ A = 1,00,000 × 0.2625
∴ A = ₹ 26,250

Question 23.
After how many years would an annuity due of ₹ 3,000 p.a. accumulated ₹ 19,324.80 at 20% p.a. compounded annually? [Given: (1.2)4 = 2.0736]
Solution:
∵ C = ₹ 3,000
∵ A = ₹ 9,324.80
∵ r = 20% p.a.

∴ 19,324.80 = 15,000 × 1.2[(1.2)n – 1]
∴ 19,324.80 = 18,000[(1.2)n – 1]
∴ $$\frac{19,324.80}{18,000}$$ + 1 = (1.2)n
∴ 1.0736 + 1 = (1.2)n
∴ 2.0736 = (1.2)n
∴ (1.2)4 = (1.2)n
∴ n = 4 years

Question 24.
Some machinery is expected to cost 25% more over its present cost of ₹ 6,96,000 after 20 yeas. The scrap value of the machinery will realize ₹ 1,50,000. What amount should be set aside at the end of every year at 5% p.a. compound interest for 20 years to replace the machinery? [Given: (1.05)20 = 2655]
Solution:
Present cost = ₹ 6,96,000
Expected cost = 25% × 6,96,000 + 6,96,000
= 1,74,000 + 6,96,000
= ₹ 8,70,000
∴ Scrap value = ₹ 1,50,000
∴ Sinking fund = 8,70,000 – 1,50,000 = ₹ 7,20,000
∴ A = ₹ 7,20,000, n = 20 years, r = 5% p.a.

∴ 7,20,000 × 0.05 = C[(1.05)20 – 1]
