Answer:
It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= 35,000
FV= 44,622.09
i= 0.07/4= 0.0175
We need to calculate the number of quarters required to reach the objective. We will use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(44,622.09/35,000) / ln(1.0175)
n= 14
It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.
Answer: C) Otto
Explanation: Unlike the general perception evidenced in the research, having inflation is not a negative event. In fact, enjoying constant and controlled price increases is a sign that the demand for households is good, which translates at the same time into a greater need for production which ultimately results in economic growth.
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
EPS = $3.50
Book value per share = $22.75
Shares outstanding = 220,000
Debt-to-assets ratio = 46%
Total Equity (Book Value) = Book value per share × Shares outstanding
= $22.75 × 220,000
= $5,005,000
Total Assets = 
= 
= $9,268,518.52
Debt outstanding = Total Assets - Total Equity
= $9,268,518.52 - $5,005,000
= $4,263,518.52
= $4,263,519 (approx)
Answer: The higher the principal, the higher the total cost of the loan
Explanation:
From the chart shown we can see that the loan with a higher principal has a higher total cost than the loan with the smaller principal.
This happens because the interest rate attached affects larger figures more than smaller ones. 6.47% of $6,000 is $389 which is larger than 6.47% of $5,000 which is $324 (calculating the cost of a loan is more cumbersome than this but this shows the effect as well).
When compounded overtime, this difference will be even more and thus shows that larger principals cause larger total costs.
