deduction tables for the same period are
reproduced below.
Refer to both of these documents to answer

the questions that follow.
For the purpose of this question we will

assume all workers to be “Under 65” years
old.

4.1 Determine the following from the information provided

4.1.1 For what period are the wages in the table valid? (2)
4.1.2 What, according to SARS, is the annual equivalent remuneration of
somebody who earns R 1 155 per week? (2)
4.1.3 How much is the weekly deduction from the ordinary wages of
employees for the Provident Fund? (2)
4.2 Use the weekly wage and tax tables to determine the following:
4.2.1 What is the weekly PAYE deduction for a general worker? (2)

4.2.4 Hence, or otherwise show that a custodian “takes home” R1 350,96 after
deductions. (4)
4.3 The “New Minimum Wage” value in the table is the wage after an 11% increase.
Hence determine:
4.3.1 What did a custodian “take home” before the increase if:
• the weekly PAYE deduction for the original wage (in the previous
tax year) was R27,87?
• the provident fund deduction was the same (10% of weekly wages)? (5)
4.3.2 What is the percentage increase in “take home” pay between the original
wage and the new wage? (4)
4.3.3 Is the percentage increase in “take home” wages:
• the same as,
• greater than, or
• or less than the
increase of 11% in wages? Give a reason for the observation(s) you have
made (4)

QUESTION 4
In order to host the FIFA world cup a host nation needs to have or must build appropriate stadiums.
FIFA provides very clear guidelines regarding the dimensions and design of such stadiums.
scoreboard
91m 190 m
optimal distance
maximum distance
A
The diagram above comes from the FIFA guidelines for stadium design. The diagram shows both
the ideal distance for spectators from the centre of the field and the maximum distance that any
spectator should sit from the furthest corner of the field.
4.1 Determine the following from the diagram:

4.1.1 What, according to FIFA, is the optimal distance for a spectator
to sit from the center point of the field? (2)
4.1.2 What, according to FIFA, is the maximum distance that a
spectator should sit from the furthest corner of the field? (2)
4.2 The diagram above has been drawn according to scale. Using your ruler and
the dimensions provided on the diagram estimate, to the nearest 10 m, the
distance that a spectator at point A will sit from the scoreboard on the opposite
side of the field. (8)

4.3 FIFA has developed the diagram and formula above to help tournament hosts
with the development of scoreboards.
Assume that in a particular stadium the maximum distance of a spectator from
the scoreboard is 220m.
Use the formula provided by FIFA to calculate the minimum dimensions of:
4.3.1 H in metres. (4)
4.3.2 The scoreboard in metres. (4)
[20]

QUESTION 5
It is human nature to want to make predictions and it is no less so with the 2010 World Cup. Long
before the tournament even started people already predicted who will win. That is not to say that
everybody agreed.
One place in which these predictions manifest themselves is in sports betting. Bookmakers offer
odds on each of the different teams winning the tournament. People (punters) place bets with the
bookmakers and if they are correct then they get paid out according to the odds of the bet. If they are
wrong they lose their bet.
Illustration: A bookmaker offers odds of 15 – 1 (we say: “fifteen to one”) on a particular team
winning. A punter places a R5 bet on that team. The team wins. The punter will be paid out
R5 × 15 = R75 plus the R5 bet that he placed: total payout = R5 + R75 = R80.
At the end of February 2010 the odds for each of the teams winning the tournament one bookmaker
offered were:
Country Odds Country Odds Country Odds Country Odds

Algeria 250 - 1 France 14 - 1 Mexico 80 - 1 Slovakia 200 - 1
Argentina 9-1 Germany 12 - 1 Netherlands 12 - 1 Slovenia 200 - 1
Australia 100 - 1 Ghana 50 - 1 New Zealand 1500 - 1 South Africa 100 - 1
Brazil 5-1 Greece 125 - 1 Nigeria 100 - 1 South Korea 300 - 1
Cameroon 80 - 1 Honduras 500 - 1 North Korea 1500 - 1 Spain 9-2
Chile 50 - 1 Italy 11 - 1 Paraguay 66 - 1 Switzerland 200 - 1
Denmark 100 - 1 Ivory Coast 25 - 1 Portugal 28 - 1 Uruguay 100 - 1
England 11 - 2 Japan 300 - 1 Serbia 50 - 1 USA 50 - 1
5.1 Answer the following questions based on the information in the table:
5.1.1 What odds does the bookmaker offer for Ghana winning? (2)
5.1.2 What odds does the bookmaker offer for Uruguay winning? (2)
5.2 Consider the Netherlands. The odds the bookmaker offers for the Netherlands
winning are 12 – 1.
5.2.1 What would be the total payout for a bet of R25 if the Netherlands won
the tournament (6)
5.2.2 What amount would a person have bet if the Netherlands won and they
were paid out a total of R2 080 for their bet on the team? (6)
5.3 According to the odds:

5.3.1 Which team is least likely to win the tournament? Justify your answer. (3)
5.3.2 Which team is most likely to win the tournament? Justify your answer (3)
5.3.3 What chance does the bookmaker give South Africa of winning the
tournament? Explain your answer. (3)
