Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
Answer: $428,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts payable = $62,000
Accounts receivable = 100,000
Cash = 30,000
Inventory = 138,000
Land = 160,000
Common Stock = 200,000
Revenue = 80,000
Dividends = 56,000
Expenses = 40,000
Total assets = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Land
= 100,000 + 30,000 + 138,000 + 160,000
= $428,000
Answer:
A. Price makers
B. Brand name
Explanation:
A. The hotels charge very high prices for wine and soft drinks because they are not price takers. They do not consider the price prevailing in the market for the products they are offering to the customers. They are price makers and select to charge the price they want to maintain their current hospitality. It their perception that wine and soft drinks are part of luxury. The food is an essential and people are not allowed to bring outside food in the hotel so they will buy it but when they will consume food they will also require the drinks as a part of their meal.
B. The people in today's world are so much brand conscious. They will pay for a name tag so they will be regarded for their high status in the society despite of low quality products. The ease of shopping at the branded stores is another reason for their high sales.
The answer is Country B
Comparative advantages can be described as a country's ability to product a certain product in higher quantities and lower price (efficiently) compared to another country.
In this case, Country A can product 100 CDs and only 100 DVDs, by while country B has the capacity to produce 50 CDs but 200 DVDs.
Clearly Country B has a better infrastructure to produce DVDs in bulk
If a fiscal policy change is going to exert a stabilizing impact on the economy, policy must add stimulus to demand during a slowdown but it should restraint the demand during an economic boom.
Fiscal policy is the policy in which the government spending and taxation is used to influence the economy.
Governments generally use fiscal policy to promote strong as well as sustainable growth in the economy and reduce the poverty too.
The role and objectives of fiscal policy which gained importance during the recent global economic crisis is when the different governments stepped in to support financial systems.
Governments starts the growth, and also mitigate the impact of the crisis on vulnerable groups through the use of fiscal policy.
