QUESTION 1
F, a 98-year old widow, has inherited R70 000 000 from her late husband. F’s lazy son-in-law, G,
has offered to “look after her money for her”. F therefore hands G R20 000 000 and instructs G to
buy her (F) shares in company A in the hope that the value of the shares in company A will increase
over time. Contrary to F’s instruction, G goes and buys shares in company B with the money. When
asked by F whether he (G) bought the shares in company A as instructed, G replies “yes”. It later
turns out that the value of the shares in company A decreased dramatically and that the value of
the shares in company B increased and that G, in fact, saved F a lot of money.
