Credit card companies track your transactions. how can they abuse this?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:
Credit card companies can invade your privacy by monitoring all your credit card transactions and making decisions, whether correct or incorrect, about your credit worthiness and your character.

Explanations:
All credit card transactions are logged into a data base which is accessible to credit card companies.
Therefore credit card companies can form opinions about your credit worthiness on the basis of your credit card transactions.

For example, if you use your credit card to pay for groceries, utilities, and ordinary bills, a credit card company could assume that you are in financial distress and make a decision to reduce your credit limit.
If a person uses a credit card often at a casino or gambling locations, that could also signify to credit card issuers that the person may not be using money wisely, and may not be willing to provide more credit to the gambler.

To sum it up, personal privacy is lost whenever a person uses a credit card. Credit card issuers may form opinions about a card holder that may be correct or incorrect, based on the person's credit card transactions.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Dinklage Corp.

a. The company's capital structure by book value:

Weights:

Equity = 9.84%

Debt = 90.16%

b. The company's capital structure by market value:

Weights:

Equity = 64.55%

Debt = 35.45%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding common stock = 6 million shares

Current share price = $84

Book value per share = $5

Total equity book value = $30 million (6,000,000 * $5)

Total equity market value = $504 million (6,000,000 * $84)

First bond's face value = $145 million

Coupon rate = 5%

Selling price = 95% of par

Market value of first bond = $145 * 95% = $137.75 million

Second bond's face value = $130 million

Coupon rate = 4%

Market value = $130 * 107% = $139.1 million

Total market value of bonds = $276.85 million ($137.75 + $139.1)

Book value of bonds = $275 million ($145 + $130)

a. The company's capital structure by book value:

Equity = $30 million

Debt = $275 million

Total firm's value = $305 million

Weights:

Equity = $30/$305 * 100 = 9.84%

Debt = $275/$305 * 100 = 90.16%

b. The company's capital structure by market value:

Equity = $504 million

Debt = $276.85 million

Total firm's value = $780.85 million

Weights:

Equity = $504/$780.85 * 100 = 64.55%

Debt = $276.85/$780.85 * 100 = 35.45%
