Suppose a company owns a fancy 3D printer which cost $1500 to buy. The printer depreciates $200 per year. (a) If the interest ra

te is 3 percent, what is the implicit rental price of the printer per year? (b) Does your answer to part (a) depend on whether the company used its own money to buy the printer, or if it took out a loan? Why? Suppose a newer edition of the 3D printer comes out for $2000. Because better technology is used, there is less depreciation; it only depreciates by $150 a year. (c) Calculate the implicit rental price for the new edition of the printer. Which edition of the printer - old or new - has a larger implicit rental price? (d) Suppose the interest rate was instead 5 percent, rather than 3 percent. Which edition of the printer - old or new - has a larger implicit rental price? Compare your answer with part (c), and comment on any difference.

Answer:

a) Implicit Rental Price:

Normal annual cost = $200

3% of $1,500           =      45

Implicit rental price = $245

b) The answer to part (a) does not depend on whether the company used its own money to buy the printer or if it took out a loan, provided that the cost of the loan remains within the 3% accepted rate.  The reason for my answer is that the calculation of the implicit rental price is an economic measurement that tries to capture the opportunity cost of a project and not just the actual cost.

c) Implicit Rental Price:

Normal annual cost = $150

3% of $2,000          =     60

Implicit rental price = $210

The old edition of the printer has a larger implicit rental price.

d) Interest rate = 5%

Old edition: Implicit Rental Price:

Normal annual cost = $200

5% of $1,500           =      75

Implicit rental price = $275

New Edition:

Normal annual cost =  $150

5% of $2,000          =    100

Implicit rental price = $250

The old edition of the printer still has a higher implicit rental price of $270 compared to the new edition's $250, with a difference of $20.

Explanation:

Determining the implicit rental price for the 3D printer, one is forced to consider the lost interest that the investment in the printer would occasion.  By this, the use of the implicit rental price ensures that the only cost of a project is not the direct costs, but also includes some opportunity costs.  Opportunity costs are costs incurred from the revenue lost because another option is chosen.

Credit Bonds payable                                         $1,400,000

Credit Premium on bond payable                          $23,060

<em>(To record bond issuance)</em>

(b) June 20 interest payment

Debit Interest expense (balancing figure)              $81,694

Debit Premium on bond payable                             $2,306

Credit Cash                                                             $84,000

<em>(To record first interest payment - June 30)</em>

(c) December 31  interest payment

Debit Interest expense (balancing figure)             $81,694

Debit Premium on bond payable                           $2,306

Credit Cash                                                            $84,000

<em>(To record first interest payment - December 31 )</em>

Explanation:

A bond is a long-term promissory note issued by a company in order to borrow from investors to fund its business operations.

Calculation of the interest expense:

Premium on bonds payable (balancing figure) = $23,060

Number of periods = 5 years x 2 = 10 periods

Amortization of premium on bond payable = $23,060 / 10 periods = $2,306

Calculation of the cash proceed:

Cash = Face value of bond x contractual interest x Time period

Cash = $1,400,000 x 12% x 6 / 12 = $84,000 (see the journals above)

This style of leadership may stunt the development of employees and ties the organization’s success to its leader.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Autocratic

Explanation:

In autocratic leadership, the manager or leader makes all decisions on behalf of the company or group. The leader does not seek or consider the inputs of others when making decisions. The autocratic leadership style is the same as the dictatorship style.

An autocratic leader issues orders or commands which the subordinates are expected to follow to the latter. When the organization archives success, all the credit goes to the leader.

Only one commercial bank in the banking system has an excess reserve, and its excess reserve is $400,000. This bank makes a new
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

money supply will increase by 2,400,000

Explanation:

the expansion f the money supply will be:

the money multiplier will be:

1/reserve ratio = 1/0.125 = 8

300,000 x 8 = 2,400,000

The reasoning for the multiplier effect is the following:

once the money is received, it will be used, and the person who receive the cash will deposit their proceeds.

This amount, can generate a new loan for, the remainder after subtracting the required reserve.

300,000 - 12.5% = 262,500

And this, once used will also end in a deposit. This opens the posibility for another loan, after reducing the reserve

262,500 - 12.5% = 229,687.5‬

This can be reapeat again and again and the limit for this is the formula state above:

multiplier effect = 1/reserve ratio
