Answer:

C) Company B has a higher operating return on assets than Company A, but Company A has a higher return on equity than Company B.

Econo Nation started 2013 with no national budget debt or surplus. By the end of 2013, it had a budget surplus of $286 million;
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

-$13 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Budget surplus by the end of 2013 = $286 million

Budget deficit in 2014 = $425 million

Budget surplus in 2015 = $100 million

Budget deficit or surplus in 2016 is unknown.

National debt at the end of 2016 = $52 million

National Budget surplus/ deficit at the end of year 2015:

= Budget balance of 2013 + Budget balance of 2014 + Budget balance of 2015

= $286 million + (-$425 million) + $100 million

= -$39 million

So the government will fund this deficit by taking debt of $39 million.

National debt at the end of 2016 = Total debt till 2015 + Surplus/deficit for year 2016

-$52 million = (-$39 million) + Surplus/deficit for year 2016

- $52 million + $39 million = Surplus/deficit for year 2016

-$13 million = Surplus/deficit for year 2016

This is budget deficit of $13 million because debt increased by 13 million in 2016.

Credit card A offers an introductory APR of 3.4% for the first 3 months and a standard apr of 15.7% thereafter, while credit car
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I answered based on the information.

Explanation:

We can determine which Credit card is best in terms of its interest rate by comparing both rates monthly:

Credit card A

<u>APR for the First 3 months:</u>

4.1% / 360 days = 0.009% x 30 = <u>0.27% </u>per month for the first 3 months.

<u>APR for Next 9 months:</u>

15.7% / 360 days = 0.04361% x 30 = <u>1.308% </u>per month for the next 9 months.

Credit card B:

<u>APR the First 3 months</u>

4.2% / 360 days = 0.011% x 30 = 0.33% per month for the first 3 months

<u>Next 9 months:</u>

15.5% / 360 = 0.04305% x 30 = <u>1.291%</u> per month for the next 9 months

Hence, we can conclude,

  • For the first 3 months, Credit Card A is best because it offers lower interest charges.
  • For the next 9 months, Credit Card B is best because it offers lower interest charges.
