Answer:

1. 12.25

2. 15.625

3. 25.75

4. 43.75

Explanation:

Po = Do (1 + g) /( Ke - g)

(1) Po = Do (1 + g) /(Ke - g)

Where = Ke = 8% , g= -2%

Po = 1.25(1 - 2%) / ( 8% + 2%)

= 1.225 / 10%

= $12.25

(2). Po =  Do (1 + g) /( Ke - g)

Where = Ke = 8% , g= 0%

Po = 1.25(1 + 0) / ( 8% - 0)

= 1.25 / 8%

= $15.625

(3). Po =  Do (1 + g) /( Ke - g)

Where = Ke = 8% , g= 3%

Po = 1.25 (1 + 3%) / (8% - 3%)

= 1.2875 / 5%

= $25.75

(4) Po =  Do (1 + g) /( Ke - g)

Where = Ke = 8% , g= 5%

Po = 1.25 ( 1 + 5%) / (8% - 5%)

= 1.3125 / 3%

= $43.75

What is the rate of interest on a loan of $2,000, for 284 days, if the amount of interest is $93.37, using the exact interest me
vesna_86 [32]

Exact interest method is using 365 days instead of 360.

 

We are going to use the formula: I = Prt, we will derived the formula of rate.

r = I /Pt would be our formula, plugging in our amounts.

r = 93.37 / 2000 / (284/365)

= 93.37 / 2000 (0.7781)

= 93.37 / 1556.1643

= 0.06 or 6% when converted to percent.

 

To check:

I = Prt

= 2000 x 0.06 x 284/365

= 120 x 0.7781

= 93.37

According to the​ Break-Even EBIT​ analysis, shareholders are​ ____ off with debt when EBIT is​ _____ the​ Break-Even EBIT level
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Answer B.

Explanation:

EBIT break even point is a situation when company does not make a profit or has loss. It is a point where earnings per share are equal to zero. It is the level of ebit equal to fixed costs for the company, like interest on the debt. If this break even point increases, this leads to the increase of financial risk. However, increase of ebit above break even point leads to net income calculated as EBIT*(1-interest expense)*(1-tax rate)-preferred dividends being higher.

Advantages and disadvantages of implementing plan where functional managers will be held responsible for cost overruns against t
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Implementing plans where functional managers will be held responsible for cost overruns against their original estimate possess both advantages and disadvantages :

The advantages include:

1) Efficient use of Resources : A functional manager could be explained as the head or a person who has managerial authority over a department within a business organization. As such the functional manager will be able to monitor more effectively and take control of his unit. Holding them responsible for cost overruns will ensure that they are more cautious when it comes to resource and cost management as they will not want to be sanctioned.

11) ACCOUNTABILITY: It increases the sense of responsibility of the functional managers as they are being held fully responsible for the decisions made within their unit. This places a higher burden of showing sincerity on the managers.

The disadvantage associated with the plan is the possibility of producing low quality products resulting from the economical and cautious approach embarked upon in other to prevent cost overrun, materials used may be lesser quality than expected.

"A forklift will last for only 2 more years. It costs $5,000 a year to maintain. For $20,000 you can buy a new lift that can las
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

a. $2,465.82

b. $3,539.68

c. Yes, we should

Explanation:

Annual cost to maintain old forklift is $5,000

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of new forklift = (Asset price x discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)-n), in which n is the number of year for usage of this forklift?

If discount rate is 4% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $2,465.82  

= ($20,000x4%)/(1-(1+4%)-10)

If discount rate is 12% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $3,539.68  

= ($20,000x12%)/(1-(1+12%)-10)

We should replace because with such above discount rate, the old forklift is more costly than the new one
