Answer:

Our answer is  $ 33,342

Explanation:

Initial investment = Cost of new machine - Salvage value of old machine = $ 57,000 - $ 5,000 = $ 52,000

Annual cost savings = $ 5,000

Present value of cash savings at a discount rate of 25% = Annuity x PVIFA 25%, 10 years + Salvage x PVIF 25%, 10th year= $ 5,000 x 3.5705 + $ 7,500 x 0.1074 = $ 17,852.5 + $ 805.5 = $ 18,658

Net present value = Present value of cash savings - Initial investment = $ 18,658 - $ 52,000 = $ ( 33,342 )

When the market interest rate rises above the coupon rate for a particular quality of bond, the "current yield": will be below t
meriva

Answer: will be above the coupon rate

Explanation:

The Coupon rate is a fixed rate that a bond issuer pays to it's bond holders. The <em>Current Yield</em> however is calculated by dividing the Coupon payment by the Price of the bond.

When Market interest rises above the Coupon Rate, the price of the bond decreases in the market and vice versa.

Because the price of the bond is now less and it is the divisor of the Coupon rate to get the Yield, it will give a higher percentage which will be more than the Coupon rate.

You and your college roommate eat three packages of Ramen noodles each week. After graduation last month, both of you were hired
inn [45]

Answer:

The answer to this question is b. Yours will be positive and your roommate's would be negative.

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand to changes in income. In other words, it measures how changes in income of consumers will affect the quantity of commodities demanded by such consumers.

An income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative.

It is positive, when an increase in income leads to an increase in the quantity demanded by the customer. However it is referred to as negative when an increase in income leads to decrease in the quantity demanded by the consumer.    

In  the question above, it can be seen that the increase in income of the first person brought about increase in the commodity demanded thereby making his income elasticity of demand positive. one the other hand, the increase in the income of his roommate, brought about decrease in his demand which translate to the fact that his income elasticity of demand would be negative.

Hence the answer given.

, suppose the book value of the debt issue is $70 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zer
vlada-n [284]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The company's total book value of debt will be:

= Value of debt + Value of zero coupon bonds

= $70 million + $100 million

= $170 million

b. The market value will be:

= Quoted price × Par value

= ($70 × 1.08) + ($100 × 0.61)

= $75.6 + $61

= $136.6 million

c. The aftertax cost of debt will be:

= (1 - Tax rate) × Pre tax cost of debt

= (1 - 35%) × 5.7%

= 65% × 5.7%

= 3.7%

Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) Proportion = 41.3%

b) Proportion = 9.18%

c) Proportion = 13.35%

d) Interest payment = $37.28

Explanation:

We have normal distribution with mean = 29 and standard deviation = 9

a) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 31) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{31 -29}{9}) = P (Z > 0.22) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 0.22) =  

1 - 0.58706 = 0.41294 = 41.3%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 41.3%.

b) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 41) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{41 -29}{9}) = P (Z > 1.33) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 1.33) =  

1 - 0.90824 = 0.09176 = 9.176% ≈ 9.18%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 9.18%.

c) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 19) = (\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{19 -29}{9}) = P (Z < -1.11) = 1 - P(Z ≤ -1.11)) =0.13350 = 13.35%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders that paid less than 19 dollars in interest is 13.35%.

d) Let's suppose this amount of payment is Y:

Therefore P(X > Y) = 0.18

so P(X < Y) = 0.82

Utilizing standard normal approximation

P(X ≤ Y) = (\frac{X-29}{9}\leq \frac{Y -29}{9}) = P (Z ≤ \frac{Y-29}{9})  =  0.82

Form the standard normal table we find that \frac{Y-29}{9} = 0.92

Therefore,

Y - 29 = 9×0.92

Y - 29 = 8.28

Y = 8.28 + 29 = 37.28

Therefore $37.28 of interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

Johnson Waterworks Corporation provides plumbing services. Transactions during the first year of operations are provided below.â
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$ 26,100

Explanation:

Given:

Cash received = $13,000

Amount Paid for equipment to be used for plumbing repairs = $1,500

Amount borrowed = $10,000

Amount paid in rent for the year = $400

Amount paid for plumbing supplies = $300

Amount received for completing a plumbing repair = $3,400

Plumbing supplies left at the end of the year = $400

Now,

the total cash = Total Amount received -  Total Amount paid

or

The total cash = ($ 13000 + $ 10000 + $ 3400) - ($ 1500 + $ 400 + $ 300)

or

The total cash  = $ 24,200

Now

the assets from equipment = $ 1,500

Thus,

the total assets at end of the first year = The total cash + the assets from equipment  + Plumbing supplies left at the end of the year

or

The total assets at end of the first year = $ 24,200 + $ 1,500 + $ 400

or

The total assets at end of the first year = $ 26,100
