Answer:

Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00  

Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00  

The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense

Explanation:

Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years

principal amount is $720,000

interest rate is 10.20%

total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00  

Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00

What is the maximum amount a 45-year-old taxpayer and 45-year-old spouse can put into a Traditional or Roth IRA for 2019 (assumi
puteri [66]

Answer:

If you are single, head of household or married filing separately, your contribution limit of $5,500 begins to phase out when your modified AGI reaches $61,000 and is zero beginning at $71,000. If you are married, filing jointly, or a qualified widow or widower, your contribution limit of $5,500 begins to phase out when your modified AGI reaches $98000 and is zero beginning at $118,000. So since they dont have an income limitation and are not covered by another pension plan, they both should be able to contribute $5,500 for a combined result of $11,000 to a Roth IRA

Alborosie

Answer:

Net export decreases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export increases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export decreases and net capital outflow increases

Net export increases and net capital outflow increases

Explanation:

Net export = export - import

export would comprise of goods and services produced in the US that are been sold to foreign countries

Import would comprise of foreign produced goods and services that are been sold in the US

Net export would increase when export occurs and decrease when import occurs

Net capital outflow measures the flow of funds in a country. It is the difference between purchase of foreign assets by the citizens of a country and the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow = purchase of foreign assets by citizens - purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow is positive when purchase of foreign assets occur and negative when purchase of domestic assets occur.

1. the setting up of the factory is an import and there is a flow of funds into the US economy. Thus, net export and net capital flow decrease

2. A Apple computer is produced in the US. The sale to a German constitutes an export but there is a flow of fund into the US economy. net export increase and net capital outflow decreases

3. Sony is not produced in the US. the purchase of the TV constitutes an import and there is a flow of funds out of the US economy. Net export reduces and net capital outflow increases

4. The opening of the fashion company outlet in the UK constitutes an export and there is a flow of funds out of the US. Net export increases and net capital outflow increases

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

6%

Explanation:

Data provided as per question is as given below:-

Redeemed amount = $1,000

Sale value of Bond = $687.25

Number of year = 5

The computation of interest rate is as shown below:-

Interest rate = (Redeemed amount ÷ Sale value of bond) ^ (1 ÷ Number of Year) - 1

= (1,000 ÷ 747.25) ^ (1 ÷ 5) - 1

= (1.338) ^ (0.2) - 1

= 0.06

= 6%
