In which market model are the conditions of entry into the market easiest?

A copy machine acquired with a cost of $1,410 has an estimated useful life of 4 years. It is also expected to have a useful oper

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a. Straight-line method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $333.75

b. Double-declining-balance method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $667.5

c. Units-of-output method

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $450

Explanation:

a. Straight-line method

Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Residual Value)/Useful Life = ($1,410 - $75)/4 = $333.75

Depreciation Expense for the first year: $333.75

b. Double-declining-balance method

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 4 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 25% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total cost of machine - Residual value = $1,410-$75 = $1.335

Under the double-declining-balance method the 25% straight line rate is doubled to 50% - multiplied times

Depreciation Expense for the first year = $1.335 x 50% = $667.5

c. Units-of-output method

Depreciation Expense per copy = (Cost of machine − Residual Value)/Life in Number of Units = ($1,410 - $75)/13,350 = $0.1

Depreciation Expense for the first year = Depreciation Expense per copy x number of copies were made the first year = $0.1 x 4,500 = $450

Matt inherited as a trust a fifteen-year annuity-immediate with annual payments. He has been told that the annuity payments earn

Pavel [41]

Answer:

effective annual interest rate = 6.32%

annual payment = $1,585

Explanation:

I believe that this is an ordinary annuity, so we can use the future and present value of an ordinary annuity formula:

FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor, so annual payment = FV / FV annuity factor

PV = annual payment x PV annuity factor, so annual payment = PV / PV annuity factor

we can equal both equations:

PV / PV annuity factor = FV / FV annuity factor

FV / PV = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

$37,804.39 / $15,077.10 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

2.5074 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor

the easiest way to solve this is to use an annuity table since we already know that there are 15 periods (I used an excel spreadsheet):

%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV

1 16.097 13.865 1.1609

2 17.293 12.849 1.34586

3 18.599 11.938 1.55797

4 20.024 11.118 1.80104

5 21.579 10.380 2.07890

6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966

7 25.129 9.1079 2.7590

8 27.152 8.5595 3.1721

9 29.361 8.0607 3.6425

10 31.772 7.6061 4.4112

The interest rate must be between 6 and 7%:

%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV

6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966

6.1 23.45404 9.6461 2.43145

6.2 23.63369 9.5858 2.46549

6.3 23.81491 9.52467 2.50034

6.31 23.83312 9.51851 2.50387

6.32 23.85135 9.51236 2.5074

6.4 23.99773 9.46337 2.53585

effective interest rate = 6.32% per year

annual payment = $37,804.39 / 23.85135 = $1,585

Creditors often include several requirements in a mortgage contract in order to protect their interests. In order to ensure that

muminat

Answer:

prepayment penalty, maintain, insurance, mortgage

Explanation:

Prepayment penalty clause relates to the situation that the borrower shall not prepay the borrowed amount as to the creditor it will be loss in the form of interest, thus, it do not want that the borrower shall collect from any other source.

The property should not loose its value, or the value shall not be degraded as that will result in loss, as when the borrower fails to repay the loan, creditor has the right to sell it, if it will not be maintained the value will degrade.

Insurance is required so that same as in above mentioned point that the value is not lost, and then the value of loan is fully recoverable.

If the value of loan exceeds 80% of value of property there shall be mortgage as the lender ensures his payment and no failure shall be there.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

ERIC: Hi, Hubert. This is my first economics course, and many of the concepts discussed in class are really confusing. Today the professor explained that the true cost of going to college includes both the tuition I pay as well as something called the "opportunity cost" of going to college. I don't understand. I pay $32,000 per year in tuition. The tuition is what I pay to the school, so it seems like that should be my true cost!

HUBERT: Hi, Eric. Many concepts in economics can be confusing at first. Let's talk it through.

Economists think of costs a bit differently than just the dollar amount that you pay. To an economist, the true cost of college includes the total value of what you give up in order to acquire your college education. In other words, not only did you give up the tuition money that you paid, but by attending college, you gave up opportunities to do other things with your time as well. This is where the idea of opportunity cost comes from.

The opportunity cost of your decision to go to college is the value of the next best alternative that you gave up. Suppose that your next best alternative to college is to work as a cashier. By not going to college, and taking this job, you could earn $16,000 per year. Then your opportunity cost of college is $16,000, and your total cost of a year of college is $48,000 per year.

ERIC: I think I get it now. So when I take into account the opportunity cost of college, the true cost is actually more than just the tuition.

HUBERT: Correct. Thinking about costs in this way will help you make more rational decisions in your everyday life. Now tell me, how can you explain your decision to go to college?

ERIC: I chose to go to college because, for me, the value of a year in college gives me a higher stand and offers me a better long-term opportunity that someone without a college degree.

Explanation:

The question poses a discussion about the opportunity cost of attending college. The understanding behind this is that by choosing to go to college, Eric is forfeiting the opportunity to get a job as a cashier that would earn him $16,000 a year while incurring his college fees of $32,000. Therefore, the total cost of attending college to him should be $48,000.
