Answer:

8.6% APR, compounded monthly

Explanation:

Effective annual rate = ( 1 + periodic interest rate)^m - 1

8.6% APR = (1.007167)^12 - 1 = 0.089472 = 8.95%

m = number of compounding = 12

periodic interest rate = 8.6% / 12 = 0.717%

8.5% APR = (1.000233)^365 - 1 = 0.088706 = 8.87%

m = number of compounding = 365

periodic interest rate = 8.5% / 365 = 0.02329%

I would prefer the 8.6% APR, compounded monthly because the effective annual rates are higher

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price level is shown below:

Maintenance margin = Number of shares purchased × price - loan amount ÷  Number of shares purchased × price

30% = 100 shares × price - $3,500 ÷ 100 shares × price

30% × 100 shares × price = 100 shares × price - $3,500

30 × price = 100 shares × price - $3,500

After solving this, the price would be $50

And, the loan amount equal to

= Number of shares purchased × per share price × initial margin

= 100 shares × $70 × 50%

= $3,500

Option B is incorrect because a decrease in long term debt means the business is paying its debt or redcuing its liability and this is an outflow.

Option D is also incorrect because an increase in fixed assets means the business is buying this asset with cash and this is an outflow
