Explanation:

Discretionary fiscal policies: are those that governments intentionally apply to influence public revenues or expenses. They have the advantage that they can act directly on the problems but the drawback is that they are usually slow in their application due to the political and institutional procedures required for their implementation.

Answer:

Order size = 23 cars

The number of orders = 23

Explanation:

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order size that reduces the balance of holding and ordering cost. It is to be noted that at EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

The EOQ is computed as shown below;

= √ 2 × Co × D)/Ch

Co = Ordering cost

D = Annual demand

Ch = Carrying cost

EOQ = √ 2 × 500 × 529 / 1,000

EOQ = 23

Number of cars to be ordered per time, I.e optimal order size = 23

Order size = 23 cars

2. The number of times orders should be placed per year would be calculated as;

Number of orders = Annual demand / Order size

Number of orders = 529 / 23

Number of orders = 23

A homeowner has a mortgage balance of $149,570.75. If the interest rate on the loan is 9.5% and the monthly payment is $1,303.55

nalin [4]

Answer:

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.9079

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

We will use the following relationships:

Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance

Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid

Principal balance= loan balance - principal paid

Year 1

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,570.75 = 1,184.101

Principal paid in year 1 = 1,303.55 - 1,184.101 = 119.448

Principal balance = 149,570.75 - 119.448= 149,451.3018

Year 2

Interest paid = interest rate × loan balance in year 1 = 1183.156

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,451.3018 = 1183.156

Principal paid = 1,303.55 - 1183.156139 = 120.393

Principal balance at the end of year 2= Principal balance in year 1 - Principal paid in year 2

= 149,451.3018 - 120.393861 = 149330.9079

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.90
