Why do you earn more money using compound interest than you would using simple interest?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago

Interest is calculated as a <u>percentage of the principal</u>. With compound interest, the interest earned is <u>added back into the principle</u> so during the next period you start earning interest on the new, higher amount. Every time the interest compounds, it gets added into the principal and you earn more and more interest.

Example:

10% simple interest on $100:

(.1 * 100) +100 = 10 + 100 = $110

But if you do 10% interest compounding monthly for 3 months you have:

Month 1: (.1 * 100) +100 = 10 + 100 = $110

Month 2: (.1*110) +110 = $121

Month 3: (.1*121) + 121 = $133.10

Even with this simple example you can see how much more money is earned when your interest is compounded and added back into the principal.

The Carla Vista Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The Inn has 50 rooms that it r
SashulF [63]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

 Breakeven point = Fixed cost divide by Contribution margin

Contribution margin = Sales minus Variable cost.

Fixed cost

Particular           Amount

Salaries                  $5000

Utilities                   $1100

Depreciation   $1200

Maintenance   $780

Total Fixed cost = $8,080.

Variable cost =Maid services plus Other cost = $7 plus $13 = $20

Contribution = $40 minus $20 = $20.

Breakeven point in number = $8080 divide 20 = 404 rented rooms per month.

Breakeven point in $ = Breakeven point rented rooms × rent cost.

=> 404 rooms multiply $40 = $16,160.

The Akron Slugger Company produces various types of wooden baseball bats. It has calculated the average cost per unit of a produ
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

\arge\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 117,788}}

Explanation:

Assume the <em>cost</em> equation to be:

                Cost(x)=Fixed\text{ }costs+Variable\text{ }costs\\\\Cost(x)=A+Bx

Where x is the number of units (wooden baseball bats) produced.

The <em>average cost per unit of production level</em> is the total cost divided by the number of units produced:

              Average\text{ }cost(x)=Cost(x)/x\\\\Average\text{ }cost(x)=(A+Bx)/x\\

You are given that the <em>average cost per unit of a production level of 7,700 bats is $14</em>, then:

             14=(A+7,700B)/7,700

You are also given that the <em>fixed costs</em> are <em>$22,500</em>, thus A = 22,500. Hence, you can substitute the value of A in the previous equation and find B:

              14=(22,500+7,700B)/7,700\\\\14\times 7,700=22,500+7,700B\\\\107,800-22,500=7,700B\\\\85,300/7,700=B\\\\B=11.08

Now you can complete the cost equation:

             

               Cost(x)=\$ 22,500+11.08x

And to predict the total costs for 8,600 bats you must subsitute x with 8,600 in the previous equation:

             Cost(8,600)=\$ 22,500+11.08(8,600)=\$ 117,788

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Cash A/c Dr       $300,000

   To Notes Payable      $300,000

(Being notes payable issued)

Explanation:

As brick company has sign a $300,000 note which consist 7% interest rate and the duration of note is 9 month on January 1

The question has asked the journal entry on January 1 date.

So, the journal entry is

Cash A/c Dr       $300,000

   To Notes Payable      $300,000

(Being notes payable issued)

The interest part should be ignored because in the question they asked the journal entry of January 1 not in the end of the month. According to the date of asking the journal entry, the amount is to be calculated. Thus, interest should not be considered.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Cash A/c Dr       $300,000

   To Notes Payable      $300,000

(Being notes payable issued)
