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.

slega [8]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to determine the standard production costs:</u>

Direct materials= 9.6*4.55= $43.68

Direct labor= 1*15.80= $15.8

Variable manufacturing overhead rate= 3.40*1= $3.4

Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= 6*1= $6

<u>Finally, the standard cost per unit:</u>

Total unitary cost= 43.68 + 15.8 + 3.4 + 6= $68.88

A buyer and a seller enter a contract for the sale of a three-bedroom residential property. Shortly after the contract is in pla
Komok [63]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: How should the parties proceed, when talking about the buying of a house in which the buyer has already entered a contract with the seller of the property, before having an inspection performed on it, to find out that there are some issues with the property itself, would be, C: The fixes do not become part of the sales agreement.

Explanation:

To begin with, the buyer should have had the inspection done before entering an agreement, and much more signing the contract. Now that the contract is in place, and since the buyer did not have the inspection done beforehand, the terms that would have made the seller responsible for making fixes on the damaged property are not part of the contract. The buyer signed the contract without these adendums and therefore, it is no longer the seller´s responsibility, as part of the original contract, to take care of them. The buyer must abide by the original contract because he did not insist on having any such provisions placed on it that would have made the seller responsible for the fixes.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25)                     150,000

Less: Relevant cost of production:

Direct material (2,400 x $31)                 74,400

Direct labour (2,400 x $18)                    43,200

Variable overhead (2,400 x $9)             <u>21,600</u>       <u>139,200</u>

Savings                                                                       <u> 10,800</u>

The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.

 Explanation:

In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.

Suppose that in a given month $40 million is deposited into the banking system while $50 million is withdrawn. Assume that the r
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Money Supply Decrease of $50 million.

Explanation:

$40 million was deposited while $50 million was withdrawn.

The net change in the banking system would therefore be,

= 40 - 50

= -$10 million

($10 million ) means that more money left than came in.

The money supply can be calculated as the net change multiplied by the money multiplier.

The Money Multiplier is denoted as 1/reserve requirement.

Change in Money Supply is,

= -10 million * 1/20%

= -$50 million

Going by the negative number it means that Money Supply reduces by $50 million.
