Why do lenders use your utilities payment history to approve credit?

Business

There is more than one reason, but there are two main things they are looking at.  They need to see if you are paying on time.  The payment history will show if you get behind or not.  And because a utility bill is similar to a loan payment, because you have to pay it or you lose your services, they see how responsible you are by checking that.  The second major reason they do this is to see what your debt is already.  They want to make sure you can afford, with all your bills, to pay them back.

Part 2

There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore  the company should continue to manufacture the part.

Fixed Costs                                                      $100,000

Total                                                                 $388,000

total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units

Purchase Price ($4.40 x 90,000 units)          $396,000

Total                                                                 $396,000

Item 1Item 1 Weismann Co. issued 11-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 11 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Price of the bond is $940.

Explanation:

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows. This Includes the present value of coupon payment and cash flow on maturity of the bond.

As per Given Data

As the payment are made semiannually, so all value are calculated on semiannual basis.

Coupon payment = 1000 x 11% = $110 annually = $55 semiannually

Number of Payments = n = 11 years x 2 = 22 periods

Yield to maturity = 12% annually = 6% semiannually

To calculate Price of the bond use following formula of Present value of annuity.

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$55 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 6% )^-22 ) / 6% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 6% )^22 ]

Price of the Bond = $55 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.06 )^-22 ) / 0.06 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.06 )^22 ]

Price of the Bond = $662.29 + $277.5

Price of the Bond = $939.79 = $940

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$6,014,384

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.

Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

therefore,

Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x  $85)

                              = 32,687 units

thus,

Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 =  $6,014,384
