Answer: Number of months = 66.87 months
Explanation:
Given that,
Monthly Payment = $500
Interest rate(r) = 1.95% per month
Current Balance = $18,500
Number of months(t) = ?
![Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-present\ value\ factor}{r})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Current%5C%20balance%20%3D%20Monthly%5C%20payment%5Ctimes%28%5Cfrac%7B1-present%5C%20value%5C%20factor%7D%7Br%7D%29)
![Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{t}} }{r})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Current%5C%20balance%20%3D%20Monthly%5C%20payment%5Ctimes%28%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2Br%29%5E%7Bt%7D%7D%20%7D%7Br%7D%29)
![18,500 = 500\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.0195)^{t}} }{0.0195})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=18%2C500%20%3D%20500%5Ctimes%28%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2B0.0195%29%5E%7Bt%7D%7D%20%7D%7B0.0195%7D%29)
![\frac{18,500}{500}\times0.0195=1-\frac{1}{1.0195^{t} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B18%2C500%7D%7B500%7D%5Ctimes0.0195%3D1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1.0195%5E%7Bt%7D%20%7D)
![\frac{1}{1.0195^{t}}=1-0.7215](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1.0195%5E%7Bt%7D%7D%3D1-0.7215)
![1.0195^{t}=\frac{1}{0.2785}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.0195%5E%7Bt%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.2785%7D)
![1.0195^{t}=3.5906](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.0195%5E%7Bt%7D%3D3.5906)
Taking log on both side
t log(1.0195) = log(3.5906)
![t = \frac{0.5551}{0.0083}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B0.5551%7D%7B0.0083%7D)
t = 66.87 months
Answer:
The month that is lower than the lower control limit is February ($220,000).
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Highland Company's standard cost is $250,000.
The allowable deviation is ±10%.
Actual Fixed costs:
January $235,000
February 220,000
March 245,000
April 265,000
May 270,000
June 280,000
First, we need to calculate the lower control limit:
Lower control limit= 250,000*0.9= $225,000
The month that is lower than the lower control limit is February ($220,000).
