Why might a bank offer to make a loan to a customer at a low initial rate that will increase after a set period of time?

To make the loan look more attractive and competitive now.

When you apply for a loan, it's important to look at the terms and conditions. Just because the interest is low at the beginning, if not paid off quicker than the full term, it may go up increasing the amount being paid in interest over principle. When a bank offers a low initial interest rate, it's very attractive for a consumer who really needs to the loan to take it almost forgetting or being blind to the fact it will increase astronomically and basically even out to a set rate that's higher from the beginning.

Answer:

Rivercity Coffee Shop

Chad cannot sue Jose. The $10,000 is paid to Jose is a bribe. Since a bribe is not legal, it cannot form the basis for an enforceable contract.

$60,000,000

Market value is simply defined as the price an asset would fetch in the marketplace, or the value that the investment community gives to a particular equity or business.

Formula for market value is given as

Company's Share × Current Market price per share.

Therefore, given that

Numbet of shares = 3,000,000

Price of share = $20

Then, MV = 3,000,000 × 20

= $60,000,000

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $50

Anettt [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Fixed cost is

= $500,000 + $1,000,000

= $1,500,000

And, the marginal cost is

= $0.25 + $0.10

= $0.35 per paer

Now

as we know that

AFC = FC ÷ Q

Now for At 1,000,000 papers,

AFC is

= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $1.50/mo

At 800,000 , it would be

AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000

= $1.875/mo

MC = $0.35 per paper and the same is not changed

Now for break even, the average total cost is

ATC = AFC + AVC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q

VC = MC × Q

ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35

At Q = 1,000,000,

ATC = 1.50 + 0.35

ATC = $1.85

At Q = 800,000 , it would be

ATC = 1.875 + 0.35

= $2.225

As it can be seen that

The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.

The MC remains constant or same at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same

And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375
