Pass Maths paper 1 - Whatre the questions?

Tellox

Im a bit confused over whats on paper 1 and 2. As far as I know, I need to have a swift look over algebra and diffrentiation... Im always confused about whats on paper 1 and 2. Can someone get me up to speed?

michelle_ie

ok paper 1.... know ur deffrentiation, algerbra, complex numbers, series and sequences......
and compound interest, gross income, tax credits, precentage error, ratio, etc!

deisedolly

Yeah there is alegbra and differentiation, also sequences and series arithmetic, functions, complex numbers and I think that's pretty much it!

And remember, you only need 120 marks outta each paper to pass so thats 2 perfect questions, and one terrible one-which *seems* easy. Just try yer best, and attempt em all.

so if you do A & B in the questions well and not C, you could do well?

There is hope for me yet.......

my advice is do question 7 first, then 5,4,1,2,3

or do ur best question first! just to ease into it and get some confidence in urself

PrettyInPunk

kano476

practically minded ppl love question one others hate it. i love em i end up doing it all in my head. cant figure out the questions that have more feckin letters than numbers though.

tinka

i despise question 1 and love love love calculus questions!

Naikon

I like Calculus also!, but i fecking despise Linear Programming and probablility due
to how unpredictable it CAN be.

Lads! Quick question!

http://www.examinations.ie/archive/exampapers/2004/LC003GLP100EV.pdf

The standard rate of income tax is 20% and the higher rate is 42%.
Orla has a gross income of 58000 for the year and the standard-rate-cut-off point of 35000

Calculate the amount of tax due at the normal rate

Does that want me to get the rate of tax on the whole 58000 at just 20%, or just the 35000? I'll never make an accountant thats for sure

quick go slap him in the head /o\

u dont know that?? ... ok

35000 x .20% = 7000
23000 x .42% = 9660 +
Total taxable = 16660

Clear?

10 marks right there?

Is that not the gross tax for the year? it asks "Calculate the amount of tax due at the normal rate" yo

Shrimp

Seriously Q1 is so easy.. do it.. u can get 30 marks with absolutely no study then maybe 5 more for an attempt mark on the C part..

i'll try it at the end!! i know i can get full marks in all the other questions so Q1 isn't such a loss to me!! ok i said i was going bout half an hour ago...this is aberc signing off!

Tax questions are handy but i will never be an accountant:p
I find Business really is the only useful subject along with maths in the whole system in referance to providing you with information you might use;)

Shrimp

A)

240 X .025 = 6



i)
35000 x .20% = 7000

ii)
35000 x .20% = 7000
23000 x .42% = 9660 +
Total taxable = 16660

iii)
Total taxable = 16660 - 3400 = 13 260
58,000 - 13260 = 44740

C)

i)
2650 x 1.02 = 2 703

ii)
2 650 x .85 = 2 252.50 ... 2 597 x .85 =2207.45

iii)
2 703 X .85 = 2 297.55 ... 2297.55 - 2252.50 = 45.05

I might have messed up somewhere.. I'm tired..

aha I wasn't just going nuts, the 20% was just on the 35000, not the 58000. Now that's question 1 cleared up

On to question 2...

**** it if I can get 100% on question 1, I should be able to pass by attempting the rest, right? :cool:

smemon

i'll just answer all the part (a)'s, answer a few part (b)'s and have a wild guess at a few (c)'s.

really couldnt be bothered with maths, in fact i might just get a's and b's done in an hour and then get out to study irish for a few

makes more sense to me.

It just asked for the normal tax rate.. Although that's prolly me being picky, they'd prolly give you the points, considering you did get it.. BUt it's a clear case of RTFQ! Read the question..
