Answer:
The answer is: C) Investment spending by businesses varies inversely with the interest rate.
Explanation:
This statement is true all the time. When a company evaluates the costs and benefits of an investment, interest rate plays a fundamental part in those calculations. The two basic reasons for that are:
- The higher the interest rate a company (or any individual) has to pay for a loan, the harder it is for the company to repay the loan.
- The interest rate a bank charges is usually correlated to the opportunity cost of an investment. The higher the interest rates banks charge, the higher the internal rate of return (which is used to calculate the Net Present Value of an investment) will be. This is because banks don´t print money, they take in deposits and then they loan the money the someone else. So if the interest rate the bank charges is high, usually the interest rates the bank pays for the deposits is also high. Instead of investing, a company might just put their money on the bank and earn a better return rate.

Answer: $618,096
Explanation:
Accumulated depreciation after 5 years = 20% + 32% + 19.2% + 11.52
= 82.72%
Value after 4 years = 3,300,000 * ( 1 - 82.72%)
= $570,240
Gain on sale = Salvage value - Net book value
= 650,000 - 570,240
= $79,760
Aftertax salvage value = 650,000 - (Gain on sale * tax)
= 650,000 - (79,760 * 40%)
= $618,096
Answer:
$3,960
Explanation:
The Borrowed amount is $198,000 on November 1, 2021.
The interest expense at December 31, 2021 is calculated as shown below:
I=PRT
R=12%=0.12
P=$198,000
T=2 Months=(2/12) year
I=198,000*0.12*(2/12)
I=$3960
The correct option will be "B. $3,960."
Answer: $7.50
Explanation:
Given that,
Total value = $950 million
Accounts payable = $100 million
Notes payable = $100 million
Long-term debt = $200 million
common equity = $200 million
shares of common stock = 100 million
Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of preferred stock - Value of long term debt.
= $950 million - 0 - $200 million
= $750 million


= $7.50
