c) Calculate the cost of erecting the wall to your premises
d) Calculate the perimeter of your premises
e) Calculate the area of your premises
f) Use the current inter-bank rate to calculate the total costs of erecting the wall in rtgs
g) Use the black market rate to calculate the total costs of erecting the wall in rtgs

HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED

Marks will be awarded for providing

 width of your premises [3]
 length of your premises [3]
 cost of erecting the wall to your premises [3]
 perimeter of your premises [2]
 area of your premises [3]
 Use the current inter-bank rate to calculate the total costs of erecting the wall in rtgs [3]
 Use the black market rate to calculate the total costs of erecting the wall in rtgs [3]
 .

CALA tips
