Answer:

option b) -0.35%

Explanation:

For tax rate = 40%

After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )

= 7% × ( 1 - 0.40 )

= 4.20%

For tax rate = 45%

After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )

= 7% × ( 1 - 0.45 )

= 3.85%

Therefore, the change in cost of debt = 3.85% - 4.20% = -0.35%

Hence,

Correct answer is option b) -0.35%

IRR = 13.05%

Explanation:

using an excel spreadsheet, the cash flows are:

year 0 = -$3,200,000

year 1 = $425,000

year 2 = $425,000 x 1.08 = $459,000

year 3 = $459,000  x 1.08 = $495,720

year 4 = $535,378

year 5 = $578,208

year 6 = $624,464

year 7 = $674,422

year 8 = $728,375

year 9 = $786,645

year 10 = $849,577

year 11 = ($849,577  x 1.08) - $480,000 = $917,543 - $480,000 = $437,543  

IRR = 13.05%

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: buffer.

Explanation:

The indirect strategy of providing messages is implemented when <em>bad news</em> must be provided. Details are mentioned first to give the final idea at the end. This strategy might not attract the audience interest at first being this the reason why a <em>buffer </em>must be included. Buffers are meaningful segments that incentivize the audience to pay attention to the message following an initial interesting fact.

You found your dream vacation cottage in the mountains and your offer of $78,000 was accepted. You plan to put 20% down and will
zepelin [54]

Answer:

financing 62,400 dollars

Monthly Payment   $ 465.48

Total Interest  21,386.4  

Rounding to nearest $ 100

Additional $$  34.52

We save up to 16 payments and $2,136.4 in interest.

By-weekly payment  $232.60

Total Interest saved $ 194.4

Explanation:

78,000 less 20% down-payment: 62,400

Monthly  Payment

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $62,400.00

time 180

rate 0.0034375

62400 \div \frac{1-(1+0.0034375)^{-180} }{0.0034375} = C\\

C  $ 465.484

Total Interest

quota times time less principal

$ 465.48 x 180 - 62,400 = 21,386.4

$  500  -  $  465.48  =   $  34.52

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C  $500.00

time n

rate 0.0034375

PV $62,400.0000

500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0034375)^{-n} }{0.0034375} = 62400\\

(1+0.0034375)^{-n}= 1-\frac{62400\times0.0034375}{500}

(1+0.0034375)^{-n}= 0.571

We now use logaritmics properties to solve for n

-n= \frac{log0.571}{log(1+0.0034375)

-163.2956066

180 - 164 = 16 payments

Total Interst 500 x 163.30 - 62,400 = 19,250

Interest savings 21,386.4 - 19,250 = 2,136.4

If payment are bi-weekly:

then payments will be:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $62,400.00

time 360

rate 0.00171875

62400 \div \frac{1-(1+0.00171875)^{-360} }{0.00171875} = C\\

C  $ 232.598

And total Interest:

232.2 x 360 - 62,400 = 21,192

Difference 21,386.4 - 21,192 = $ 194.4

Explanation:

The computation of the expected profit from this investment is shown below:

= Strong profit × Strong percentage + Moderate profit × moderate percentage - recession losses × recession percentage

= $60,000 × 20% + $10,000 × 60% - $60,000 × 20%

= $12,000 + $6,000 - $12,000

= $6,000

By adding the three situations we can get the expected profit from this investment
