Answer:

A. The company would debit the Allowance account instead of Purchase Returns.

Explanation:

In the management of purchases transactions, a company will maintain several other accounts such as purchase returns and purchases allowance.

Purchases allowance will include allowances such as discount received and other compensations from suppliers. The allowances reduce the net value of the purchases. i.e., when calculating the net purchases, one has to deduct the purchases allowed amount. When the business receives a purchase allowance, the amount will increase the purchases allowance account. The accountant will, therefore, debit that account.

Purchases returns are goods that the company had purchased from suppliers but have returned them for some reason. They could be defective or inappropriate.

Suppose that five years ago you borrowed $300,000 using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an annual interest rate of 10% with m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Explanation:

Rate of Interest =10% or 0.83% monthly

Monthly Payment under this plan=PMT(0.0083, 360, 300000) =$2,632.71

Loan outstanding after 5 years of payments =$289,723

New Interest Rate =8.5% or 0.7083% monthly

Balance Tenure= 25 years

New Monthly Installment =PMT(0.007083,300,289723) =$2,332.93

Monthly savings in installment reduction =$2,632.71 - 2,332.93 =$299.78

a. Net present value of refinancing = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-300)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x124.1886

= -14,486.15 + 37,229.25

= 22,743.10

b. With new monthly installment, balance outstanding at the end of 8th year =$278,258

Net Present Value of Refinance = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-36)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x31.68

= -14,486.15 + 9,446.46

= -4,989.68

c. For refinance loan to have net present value positive, let n payments are required,

NPV = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15 = 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15x0.00783/299.78 =(1-(1.007083)-n)

0.3423 = 1-(1.007083)-n

(1.007083)-n = 0.6577

(1.007083)n = 1.5204

Taking Log both sides,

n = log(1.5204)/log(1.007083)

n = 59.36

Hence, he would need to make 60 payments for making NPV of refinance as zero.
