Interest rates are rounded off to nearest whole number.

Explanation:

Fisher effect formula determines the relationship between the Nominal rate, Real rate and inflation rate.

Fisher effect formula is as follows

1 + nominal rate = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + inflation rate )

1 + 5% = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + 1% )

1.05 = ( 1 + real rate ) x 1.01

1 + real rate = 1.05 / 1.01

1 + real rate = 1.0396

real interest = 1.0396 - 1 = 0.0396 = 3.96% = 4%

Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ nominal rate ) / ( 1+ real rate ) ] -1

Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ 6% ) / ( 1+ 4% ) ] -1

Inflation premium = [ ( 1.06 / 1.04 ] -1

Inflation premium = 1.0192 - 1

Inflation premium = 0.0192

Inflation premium = 1.92%

Inflation premium = 2%

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

$173,820

Explanation:

pretax financial income $616,000

- interest income on municipal bonds ($78,400)

+ depreciation ($67,200 - $50,400) = $16,800

+ fine for dumping hazardous materials $25,000

taxable income = $579,400

income taxes payable = $579,400 x 30% = $173,820

Fines are not tax deductible, and since depreciation for tax purposes is lower than accounting depreciation, you must add them. But since municipal bonds are not taxable, they must be subtracted.

Vito borrows $150,000 from Workers & Farmers Bank to buy a home. If he fails to make payments on the mortgage, the bank has

mariarad [96]

Answer: Option C

Explanation: Foreclosure is something that occurs if the mortgage is not paid by a borrower. In fact, it is a judicial process through which the person relinquishes all ownership rights.

If the owner is unable to settle off the outstanding loans or sell property through a short sale, then the estate will go to an exchange for foreclosure. If the estate does not sell then, it will be taken over by the lender.

When a lender loans you money without any collateral (credit card debt, for instance), it can take you to court for failure to pay, but it can be very hard to collect money from you.

Lenders often sell this sort of debt to outside collection agencies for pennies on the dollar and write off the loss. This is considered an “unsecured loan.”
