Which of the following statements regarding a 30-year monthly payment amortized mortgage with a nominal interest rate of 8% is C
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

C. A smaller proportion of the last monthly payment will be interest, and a larger proportion will be principal, than for the first monthly payment.

Explanation:

I prepared a summary of an amortization schedule to explain this:

principal = $100,000

r = 8% annual

n = 360 months

first payment = $733.76: $666.67 are interests and only $67.09 reduces principal

second payment = $733.76: $665.95 are interests and only $67.54 reduces principal

last payment = $733.76: $4.90 are interests and only $728.86 reduces principal to $0

In analyzing the value of the firm as a function of capital structure, the present value of the tax shield benefit is offset by
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option D (Financial distress and agency costs).

Explanation:

  • A cost of an agency is a form of company's internal expense that comes from an employee working on behalf of action of the principle. Agency costs usually occur from core redundancies, confusion, and delays, such as shareholder and management conflicts of interest.
  • Distress expense applies to the expenses that a financially distressed company faces beyond the business cost, such as increased capital expenses. Troubled companies tend to have a tougher time fulfilling their financial responsibilities, which turns into a higher chance of default.
  • When evaluating the company's value as a feature of market structure, the present value of the tax shield gain is balanced by the current value of the anticipated financial distress and agency expenses, which results in an ideal internal market structure.

Therefore, Option C is the right answer.

Consider two scenarios for a nation's economic growth. Scenario A has real GDP growing at an average annual rate of 3.5 percent;
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)

Explanation:

The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.

current GDP * (1+Growth Rate)^{n} = 2 * current GDP

In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.

Scenario A

1 * (1+0.35)^{n} =2

When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.

Scenario B

1 * (1+0.45)^{n} =2

When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.

Carter Corporation made sales of $900 million during 2016. Of this amount, Carter collected cash for $871 million. The company's
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: (a) $295 million

(b) $326 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $900 million during 2016

Cash = $871 million

Cost of goods sold = $280 million

Expenses for the year totaled = $325 million

Paid for Inventory = $375 million

Paid for everything else = $285 million

Beginning cash = $115 million

(a) Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Expenses for the year totaled

                        = $900 - $280 - $325

                        = $295 million

(b) Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016:

= Cash + Beginning cash - Paid for Inventory - Paid for everything else

= $871 + $115 - $375 - $285

= $326 million

densk [106]

Answer:

The opportunity cost of the event $21.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the loss of alternative when someone chooses an alternative.

Number of Hours = 3 hours

Earning per hour = $7

Total opportunity cost = $7 x 3

Total opportunity cost = $21

As Max has to bear the loss of $21 earning when he goes to the event in the museum. So this is his opportunity cost.
