(d)   If in 5 years the returns are Tk.5,600 per year by investing Tk.18,000 and the discount rate is 10%, then is it wise to invest in this project?

Let's break down and solve each of these problems one by one.

### (a) Find the rate of interest and the sum invested

We are given:
- At the end of the 2nd year, the amount = Tk. 21,632
- At the end of the 3rd year, the amount = Tk. 22,497.28

This follows the formula for compound interest:

\[
A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^t
\]

Where:
- \(A\) is the amount after time \(t\),
- \(P\) is the principal (sum invested),
- \(r\) is the rate of interest (to be determined),
- \(t\) is the time period in years.

From the problem:
- Amount at the end of 2 years, \(A_2 = 21,632\),
- Amount at the end of 3 years, \(A_3 = 22,497.28\).

We can divide these two equations to eliminate \(P\), the principal:

\[
\frac{A_3}{A_2} = \frac{P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^3}{P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
\frac{22,497.28}{21,632} = \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)
\]

Calculating the left-hand side:

\[
\frac{22,497.28}{21,632} \approx 1.04
\]

So,

\[
1 + \frac{r}{100} = 1.04 \implies \frac{r}{100} = 0.04 \implies r = 4\%
\]

Thus, the rate of interest is 4%.

Now, using this to find the initial principal:

\[
21,632 = P \left(1 + \frac{4}{100}\right)^2
\]

Simplifying:

\[
21,632 = P (1.04)^2 = P \times 1.0816
\]

Thus,

\[
P = \frac{21,632}{1.0816} \approx 20,000
\]

So, the principal \(P\) is Tk. 20,000.

### (b) Annual installment for house payment

We are given:
- The value of the house = Tk. 4,00,000
- Initial payment = Tk. 2,00,000
- The remaining Tk. 2,00,000 is to be paid in 10 equal installments with 10% annual interest.

The formula for calculating equal installments is:

\[
A = \frac{P \times r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}
\]

Where:
- \(P = 2,00,000\),
- \(r = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10\),
- \(n = 10\) (number of installments).

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[
A = \frac{2,00,000 \times 0.10}{1 - (1 + 0.10)^{-10}}
\]

Calculating step by step, we'll first find the value of the denominator:

\[
1 - (1 + 0.10)^{-10} = 1 - (1.10)^{-10}
\]

Now, calculate \(1.10^{-10}\) and the final value for \(A\).

### (c) Annual sum to invest to replace the machine

We are given:
- The current cost of the machine = Tk. 1,00,000
- The scrap value = Tk. 5,000
- The effective life = 20 years
- The future cost of the machine is expected to increase by 25%, so future cost = 1.25 × 1,00,000 = Tk. 1,25,000
- Interest rate = 5% p.a.

The amount needed after 20 years (excluding scrap value) is Tk. 1,25,000 - 5,000 = Tk. 1,20,000.

We use the sinking fund formula to find the amount to invest annually:

\[
A = \frac{P \times r}{(1 + r)^n - 1}
\]

Where:
- \(P = 1,20,000\),
- \(r = 0.05\),
- \(n = 20\).

Substitute the values to calculate \(A\).

### (d) Is the investment in the project wise?

We are given:
- Investment amount = Tk. 18,000
- Annual returns = Tk. 5,600 for 5 years
- Discount rate = 10%.

To determine if the investment is wise, we calculate the present value (PV) of the returns using the formula for the present value of an annuity:

\[
PV = A \times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}
\]

Where:
- \(A = 5,600\),
- \(r = 0.10\),
- \(n = 5\).

If the present value of the returns is greater than the initial investment, the investment is considered wise.

Let's now compute each of these parts.
