Answer: Carrier A.

Explanation:

It assumed the phone is replaced at the end of contract for both carrier.

For carrier A

Cost of phone is USD200

Monthly subscription for 24months @ USD60/month: USD60×24=USD 1440

INTERPRETATION

The buyer of carrier A would spend $1440 plus $200 for the phone for 2yrs. Total of $1640 for two yrs.

For carrier B

Cost of phone is USD 100

Monthly subscription of USD 70 per month for 12months yield USD 70 × 12 = USD 840

USD 100 plus USD 840 yield $940.

Since the contract is renewable, the buyer of carrier B will spend $1880 for 24months which sum exceed the buyer of carrier A.

Answer:

I would chose carrier B

Explanation:

The reason i will choose carrier B is because if we consider the cost of capital which is 4% of $70, it is lesser than carrier A.

Calculation

If A = $200  

Assuming Maintenance = $60 for 24 month

4% of $60 = 2.4

Now considering we keep replacing the phone after the contract expires and cost of capital is 4%

Therefor: 4% of $60 × 24 =57.6

If we run the same calculation for carrier B,

we have, 4% of %70 = 2.8

therefor: 2.8 × 12 = 33.6

Carrier B is therefore cheaper so ill go for it.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The use of collateral makes it more costly for borrowers to take advantage of their asymmetric information.

Explanation:

In finance, a collateral or guarantee is a transferable asset or a surety, or even a promise of guarantee, used to cover the credit risk during financial transactions in the event that the borrower cannot meet his payment obligations.

A secured loan means a loan in which the borrower commits certain assets as a guarantee of credit, this the latter then becoming a partially secured debt for the creditor who made this loan.

The guarantee may consist of cash (pledge of cash account in retail bank, cash-collateral in investment bank) or securities.

Another form consists of a simple commitment: commitment by signature of a bank towards its client, promise of collateral or mortgage, letter of intent.
