Antonio would like to replace his golf clubs with a​ custom-measured set. A local sporting goods megastore is advertising custom

clubs for ​$710​, including a new bag.​ In-store financing is available at 5.22 ​percent, or he can choose not to renew his ​$600 certificate of deposit​ (CD), which just matured. The advertised CD renewal rate is 5.58 percent. Antonio knows the​ in-store financing costs would not affect his​ taxes, but he knows​ he'll pay taxes​ (25 percent federal and 5.75 percent​ state) on the CD interest earnings. Should he cash the CD or use the​ in-store financing?​ Why?

Answer:

Antonio and Replacement of Golf Clubs

a. He should cash the CD and use the proceeds to finance part of the golf clubs.

b. The reason is that he would pay more in in-store financing totaling $37.06 per annum than the net interest he would generate from the CD totaling $23.18 per annum.  And Antonio would incur a net loss of $13.88 if the CD was renewed unlike the $5.74 if the CD were not renewed.

Explanation:

Option 1: Renew Certificate of Deposit (CD):

Interest earned  = $33.48 ($600 * 5.58%)

Taxes                  =   10.30 ($33.48 * 30.75%)

Net Income         = $23.18

Cost of in-store financing = $37.06 ($710 * 5.22%)

Net Loss(overall) = $13.88 ($37.06 - $23.18)

Option 2:

Sale-off of CD = $600

Net financing required = $110 ($710 - $600)

Cost of financing = $5.74 ($110 * 5.22%)

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

12.3%

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate what is believed a 2-year market security will be yielding, 4 years from now

To calculate this, we proceed mathematically;

2 year yield 4 years from now = [ ( 1 + 0.0765)^6 / ( 1 + 0.054)^4]^1/2 - 1

2 year yield 4 years from now = [ 1.5563 / 1.2341]^1/2 - 1 = 0.123

2 year yield 4 years from now = 0.123

2 year yield 4 years from now = 12.3%

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The number of CDs = 111.36

The number of movie videos = 242.72

N/B: I choose not to round up the answers.

Explanation:

The method used is the Lagrangian method. Basically, the optimization problem we are trying to solve is  the utility function u(x,y) = 20x+80y -x^2 -y^2

subject to the constraint

11x + 22y = 6565.

So the optimization problem(Lagrangian) is

\Delta = 20x + 80y -x^2 -y^2- \lambda(11x+22y-6565),

where \lambda is a constant called the Lagrange multiplier.

To find the optimal consumption, we need to maximize the Lagrangian with respect to the variables x,y,\lambda. This we do by differentiating \Delta with respect to each variable and then equate to 0.

\Delta_x : 11\lambda = 20 - 2x ........................(1) \\\Delta_y: 11\lambda = 40 -y .........................(2) \\\Delta_\lambda = 11x + 22y = 6565............................(3) \\

Equate (1) and (2), to get y = 20+2x and substitute into (3) to get x = 111.36. Substituting x = 111.36 into 20+2x to get the corresponding value of y.

Accounts receivable turnover and days’ sales in receivables For two recent years, Robinhood Company reported the following: 20Y9
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Accounts receivable for 2019 = $590,000

Accounts receivable for 2018 = $570,000

Explanation:

The computation of accounts receivable for both years is shown below:-

                                2019                      2018

Sales                               $7,906,000        $6,726,000

Accounts receivable

Beginning balance          $600,000            $540,000

Ending balance                $580,000             $600,000

Accounts receivable       $590,000             $570,000

Working note:-

Average Accounts receivable for 2019 = ($600,000 + $580,000) ÷ 2

= $590,000

Average Accounts receivable for 2018 =  ($540,000 + $600,000) ÷ 2

= $570,000
