Answer: (D) 5.90%
Explanation: David is going to buy a new car at $21,349.
The down payment is $3,000.
Loan amount (Present value) = $21,349 - $3,000
Loan amount (Present Value) = $18,349
Installment amount (pmt) = $352
As the payment is made monthly (12 months in a year),
Number of payments = 5 * 12
Number of payments = 60
Using the rate option in excel,
Insert the variables into the option, we get
By inserting the above formula in excel we get,
Rate = 0.47%
Rate of 0.47% is monthly, to get APR
APR = 0.0586
APR = 5.86% or 5.90%
Therefore the correct option is 5.90%.
Answer:
i) the intercept is - 124.84 and it is negative because when the income of individuals is zero their consumption = - 124.84 (i.e. consumer borrows 124.84 ).
ii) $25465.16
iii) attached below
Explanation:
Given that the equation is
^cons = -124.84 + .853 * inc
<u>i) Interpret the intercept in this equation and comment on its sign and magnitude</u>
intercept : the intercept is - 124.84 and it is negative because when the income of individuals is zero their consumption = - 124.84 (i.e. consumer borrows 124.84 ).
The slope = .853 is positive because consumption is will increase by 0.853 whether the income rises or decreases by the value of 1
<u>ii) Determine the predicted consumption when family income = $30000</u>
^cons = -124.84 + 0.853 * ( 30000 )
= 25465.16
hence when family income = $30000 the predicted consumption = 25465.16
<u>iii) Draw a graph of the estimated MPC and APC ( inc on the x-axis )</u>
MPC = 0.853 ( constant )
APC = Cons / inc
attached below is the required graph
