Answer:

17.67%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Loan amount in USD = $1,000,000

The Loan is denominated in Mexican pesos.

The rate of exchange at the time of loan = 5.75 pesos per USD

Thus,

The Loan amount in Mexican pesos = 1000000 * 5.75 = 5,750,000 Mexican pesos

The Loan carries interest rate = 6.5%

Now,

The Loan duration = 2 years = 4 semiannual periods

The Loan to be repaid in Mexican pesos in 4 equal semiannual installments

So,

To get semiannual installments we will apply PMT function of excel:

Which is,

PMT (rate, nper, pv, fv, type)  = PMT(6.5%/2, 4, -5750000, 0, 0)

= 1556164.09 Mexican pesos

Thus,

The exchange rate dropped to 5.10 pesos per USD before  the first semiannual payment is due and  stays so till the end of loan period.

Then,

The Semiannual installment in USD = 1556164.09 / 5.10 = $305,130.2137

To get nominal semiannual rate (for USD amounts) we will use RATE function of excel:

The RATE(nper, pmt, pv, fv, type)

= RATE (4, 305130.2137, -1000000, 0,0)

= 8.477%

Effective annual rate = (1 + 8.477%) 2 - 1 = 17.67%

Therefore, the effective annual interest rate will Blenman end up paying on the loan is  17.67%

Answer:

X1 EPS =  $ 3.44 per share

X2 EPS = $ 3.88 per share

Explanation:

EPS = \frac{income}{shares}

X1: Earning per share

$1,070,000 / 311,000 shares outstanding = $3.44 per share

X2: net income calcualtions

1,070,000 x ( 1  +  24%) = 1,326,8‬00

EPS: 1,326,800 / 342,000 =  3,8795 = 3.88

Which of the following countries experienced a decline in total output from 2000 to 2005?
sattari [20]

Answer: The correct answer is "B. Zimbabwe".

Explanation: GDP growth is crucial for an economy, since an increase in it reflects an increase in economic activity. If economic activity picks up, it means that unemployment tends to decrease and that per capita income increases.

In the case of Zimbabwe, population growth is far superior to GDP growth, therefore this makes economic growth much more difficult since there are more people per capita income is diminished.
