ames Sprater of Grand Junction, Colorado, has been shopping for a loan to buy a used car. He wants to borrow $18,000 for four or

five years. James' credit union offers a declining-balance loan at 9.25 percent for 48 months, resulting in a monthly payment of $450.07. The credit union does not offer five-year auto loans for amounts less than $20,000, however. If James borrowed $18,000, this payment would strain his budget. A local bank offered current depositors a five-year loan at a 9.34 percent APR, with a monthly payment of $376.62. This credit would not be a declining-balance loan. Because James is not a depositor in the bank, he would also be charged a $25 credit check fee and a $50 application fee. James likes the lower payment but knows that the APR is the true cost of credit, so he decided to confirm the APRs for both loans before making his decision. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answer:

James' credit union loan rate is 8.88% APR, the local bank loan rate is 9.34% APR.

Explanation:

Hi, since in both cases payments would be done in a monthly basis, we have to assume that the rate that we are looking for is APR (compounded monthly), and since there is no additional information in regards that 9.25% rate, we can assume that this is effective annually, so let´s convert this effective monthly rate into APR (compounded monthly)

First, we have to convert it into an effective monthly rate, that is:

r(month)=((1+r(annual))^{\frac{1}{12} } -1)

r(month)=((1+0.0925)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1)=0.00739963

Then we multiply by 12 and we get  0,088796 , which is 8.88% APR (compounded monthly)

This way James can compare both credits. The cheaper loan is from the credit union.

A firm is considering purchasing an asset that will have a useful life of 15 years and cost​ $7.5 million; it will have installa
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The annual straight line depreciation for this​ asset is $400,000

Explanation:

Total cost of the asset = Purchased cost + installation costs

= $7,500,000 +  $300,000 = $7,800,000

The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:  

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of Asset − Salvage Value )/Useful Life  

In there, the asset will have salvage value of $1,800,000 and useful life of 15 years

Annual Depreciation Expense = ($7,800,000 - $1,800,000)/15 = $6,000,000/15 = $400,000

Suppose that an increase in health consciousness increases the demand for fitness centers across the country. Other things being
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Increase.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal.

According to the law of demand, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods or services demanded and the price of goods or services i.e when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

In this scenario, an increase in health consciousness increases the demand for fitness centers across the country. Other things being equal (ceteris paribus), we can expect the wages of fitness instructors to increase because their services would be sought or demanded by the trainers.

larisa [96]

Answer:

Relevant cost= $30

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $4

Direct labor 10

Factory overhead 40

Standard cost per unit $54

Fixed cost is 60% of applied factory overhead, and is not affected by any make or buy decision.

<u>The relevant cost in a "make or buy" decision is the cost that can be avoided. Therefore, the fixed manufacturing cost is not relevant.</u>

<u></u>

Relevant overhead= 40*0.4= $16

Relevant cost= 4 + 10 + 16

Relevant cost= $30
