A credit card issuer charges an apr of 13.50%, and its billing cycle is 30 days long. what is its periodic interest rate?

2 answers:

8 0

Let’s just say that the entire year is 365 days. So, we need to divide the APR (13.50%) to 365. This gives us a value of 0.037% and since the the billing cycle is 30 days, we need to multiply 0.037% to 30 to get it’s periodic interest rate. Therefore, the periodic interest rate is 1.11%.

Cash $ 14,000 Accounts payable $ 42,000 Receivables 70,000 Other current liabilities 28,000 Inventories 210,000 Total CL $ 70,00

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The ROE will increase by 7.69% to 14.29% from 7.5%

Explanation:

Current liabilities:

account payable 42,000

Other 28,000

Total Liabilities: 70,000

IF we want a current ratio of 2.3 then:

70,000 x 2.3 = 161,000 Current assets are needed.

Right now, the companny has 294,000 current assets so it will make inventories decrease by:

294,000 - 161,000 = 133,000

Then with that will purchase common stock:

280,000 - 133,000 = 147,000 common stock will be outstanding

The Return on equity will be:

21,000 / 147,000 = 0.142857 = 14.29%

While currently the ROE is:

21,000/280,000 = 0.075 = 7.5%

There will be an increase for: 14.29 - 7.5 = 6.79%

Slow 'n Steady, Inc., has a stock price of , will pay a dividend next year of , and has expected dividend growth of per year

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital is <u>11%</u>.

Explanation:

Note: The question is not complete as the important data are committed. The full question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Slow n' steady Inc, has a stock price of $30, will pay a dividend next year of $3, and has expected dividend growth of 1% per year. what is your estimate of slow n steady's cost of equity capital?

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

The cost of equity can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula for calculating current stock price

The GGM has the assumption that there will be a stable dividend growth rate year after year forever.

Tje GGM formula is given as follows:

P = d1 / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)

Where;

P = Current share price = $30

d1 = Next year dividend = $3

r = Required rate of return or cost of equity = ?

g = Expected dividend growth rate = 1%, or 0.01

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:

30 = 3 / (r - 0.01)

r - 0.01 = 3 / 30

r - 0.01 = 0.10

r = 0.10 + 0.01

r = 0.11, or 11%

Therefore, Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital is <u>11%</u>.

Give (2) examples how we deal with "Scarcity"

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Either increasing supply or lowering demand

Explanation:

increasing supply:

e.g. when less developed countries (LDCs) experience a famine or drought, other countries can supply food and/or water to them

lowering demand:

finding alternative solutions of the product (that have the same effect as the original product) or reducing the reasons for why there is a high demand

- e.g. crops not growing well due to weather/crop disease going around -> find a crop that is more resistant to the disease (reducing reasons for demand)

- e.g. rice field has an infestation -> not yielding enough rice to feed the population -> population feels hungry and other foods cannot help them feel full/sustain them -> find another crop to substitute, like yam or potatoes that are equally filling (alternative solutions)

but these two are pretty much the same so

also please note I don't take any courses on supply and demand other than geography so I might be completely wrong

Most labor economists believe that the supply of labor is a. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of th

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

The supply of labour usually exceeds the demand for labour. So, the supply of labour is less elastic. as a result workers bear the burden of tax

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the marginal cost and marginal benefit of the policies.

Explanation:

The Economic Perspective is a concept that involves making decisions based on the marginal costs and benefits they could carry. Those decisions must be taken because of the basic economic problem of scarcity by which people have unlimited desires but only finite sources to fulfill them.
