Mike is looking for a loan. He is willing to pay no more than an effective rate of 8. 000% annually. Which, if any, of the follo
Alexeev081 [22]

The Loan condition of Loan X and Loan Y will meet the effective rate of 8.00% criteria of Mike.

Computation:

Given,

Effective interest rate =8% (i_{c})

Nominal interest rates:  (r)

Loan X =7.815%, compounded semiannually (m=2)

Loan Y: 7. 724% nominal rate, compounded monthly (m=12)

Loan Z: 7. 698% nominal rate, compounded weekly (m=52)

The formula of the effective interest rate will be used:

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{r}{m})^{m}-1)

For Loan X:

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{r}{m})^{m}-1)

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{0.07815}{2})^{2}-1)

i_{c}=0.07958 \:0r\: 7.968\%

As the effective interest rate of Loan X is lower than the actual effective interest rate. Therefore, loan X meets the criteria of Mike.

For Loan Y:

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{r}{m})^{m}-1)

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{0.07724}{12})^{12}-1)

i_{c}=0.08003 \:0r\: 8.003\%

As the effective interest rate of Loan Y is greater than the actual effective interest rate. Therefore, loan Y will not meet the criteria of Mike.

For Loan Z:

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{r}{m})^{m}-1)

i_{c}=(1+(\frac{0.07698}{52})^{52}-1)

i_{c}=0.07996 \:0r\: 7.996\%

As the effective interest rate of Loan  Z is lower than the actual effective interest rate. Therefore, loan Z meets the criteria of Mike.

Therefore, in reference to the computation of the effective interest rate of individual loans. The correct option is b. X and Z.

Caroline has been paying her mortgage steadily for fifteen years. She has just received a notice from her lender that the loan d
shtirl [24]

Answer: A ballon note

Explanation: A balloon payment mortgage is a mortgage which does not fully amortize over the term of the note, thus leaving a balance due at maturity. The final payment is called a balloon payment because of its large size. Balloon payment mortgages are more common in commercial real estate than in residential real estate.A balloon loan is a loan that you pay off with a single, final payment. Instead of a fixed monthly payment that gradually eliminates your debt, you typically make relatively small monthly payments. But those payments are not sufficient to pay off the loan before it comes due. As a result, you need to make a final “balloon” payment to pay off the remaining loan balance, and that payment may be significant.

A university is deciding between two meal plans. One plan charges a fixed fee of $600 per semester and allows students to eat as
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Students will eat the most under the fixed fee plan.

Explanation: The fixed fee plan whereby students can eat as much as they can after paying a one - time semester fee of $600 seems to provides students with a breakthrough from consumption constraint. One of the major factors which hampers the consumption rate of an individual is income. However, once there is no need to pay any additional fee aside the first payment, the issue of eveluating one's income when about to eat is expunged. The other plan seems expensive and will have a greater impact on student's income as the cost of food will increase with the number of meals taken therefore allowing student's to be more prudent in their consumption.
