Joseph buys a Hummer for $59,000, financing it with a five-year 7.60% APR loan paid monthly. He decides to pay an extra $50 per

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

57.07 months.

Joseph must decide whether the 57th payment was $1,327, or he can pay a 58th payment of just $92.

Explanation:

The easiest way to calculate a monthly payment is using a payment calculator:

principal = 59,000
n = 60
APR = 7.6%

Monthly payments = $1,185.04

Since Joseph will pay an extra $50 each month, his payment = $1,235.04

By paying that extra amount Joseph will reduce his payments by almost 3 months to 57.07 months

After the 57th payment, Joseph' balance = $91.43, so he can decide to pay a little on the 57th payment or just pay $92 next month.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Diluted earnings per share is $2.87

Explanation:

The extent to which the option would dilute the earnings per share to the extent of the difference between the option of price and the share market price.

The shares that are capable of dilute the earnings can be computed thus:

Market price-option price/market price*outstanding options shares

market price is $36

option price is $30

outstanding options shares is 12,600

($36-$30)/$36*12,600=2,100 shares

Diluted earnings per share=$602,000/(208,000+2100)=$2.87

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: $1600

Explanation:

From the information given, it can be noted that while Ryan is vested, on the other hand, Todd isn't vested.

Therefore, since the vacation is for two weeks, the amount of vacation expense and liability should be reported will be for Ryan alone and this will be:

= $800 × 2
