Answer :

Answer:

1.1.1 Define the term hire purchase in the given context.

Hire purchase is a type of credit agreement in which the buyer agrees to pay for goods in installments over a period of time. The buyer does not own the goods until the final installment has been paid.

1.1.2 Calculate the deposit amount paid by Masakhane on the hire purchase agreement.

The deposit amount is 10% of the goods value. The goods value is R49 999.99, so the deposit amount is R49 999.99 x 0.10 = R4 999.99
