Answer: 6%
Explanation:
The annual payments can be considered to be annuity payments as they are constant. The amount borrowed can be considered the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, %?
178,960 = 28,819 * Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 178,960 / 28,819
= 6.20979
To find out the interest rate, look at the Present Value of Annuity table and go to the 8 period column. Look for 6.20979. The interest rate that intersects with this factor is the interest rate implicit in this agreement.
That rate is 6%.
I guess the correct answer is price discrimination, Robinson-Patman Act
As a result of Hurricane Charley, the Green Mountain Lumber Co. decides to charge all Home Depots in Florida $25 per sheet of plywood while all Home Depots outside of Florida pay only $10 per sheet of plywood. The Green Mountain Lumber Co. can be charged with price discrimination, which is illegal under the Robinson-Patman Act.
Price discrimination is the act of charging different consumers different prices for the same product.
The Robinson-Patman Act (1936) makes it unlawful to practice price discrimination, where the effect may substantially lessen competition or help to create a monopoly
Answer:
b. $5m
Explanation:
If we purchase another company for $50m and the company you purchase has assets with a fair value of $75m and liabilities with a fair value of $30m. The amount of goodwill we should record in this transaction is: $5m
Goodwill upon acquisition of companies is derived by subtracting the fair value of NET ASSETS from the TOTAL CONSIDERATION (i.e the price paid to acquire the company)
In the scenario, the value of Net Assets is the value of the fairvalue of the assets less the fair value of the liabilities which is $75 - $30 = $45
While the Total Consideration = $50
Therefore Goodwill = $50m - $45m = $5m
