Answer:

a. The maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$33,477.87</u>.

b. The maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$39,411.78</u>.

Explanation:

a. If the APR on auto loans is 12% and you finance the purchase over 48 months, what is the maximum price you can pay for the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be determined as follows:

<u>Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments</u>

To calculate, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^48) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 37.9739594934803

PV = $32,277.87

<u>Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car</u>

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $32,277.87.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $32,277.87 = $33,477.87

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$33,477.87</u>.

b. How much can you afford if you finance the purchase over 60 months? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can also be determined as follows:

<u>Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments</u>

To calculate this, we use equation (1) in part (a) above, change number f months to 60 and proceed as follows:

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^60) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 44.9550384062241

PV = $38,211.78

<u>Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car</u>

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $38,211.78.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $38,211.78 = $39,411.78

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is <u>$39,411.78</u>.

A stock's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year, which of the following statements is CORRECT? The stock
Llana [10]

Answer:

a. The stock's price one year from now is expected to be 5% above the current price.

Explanation:

Under gordon model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

If we calculate the value of the stock for the year after that:

\frac{divends x (1 + growth)}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

to calculate the value of the increase we divide next year over current year.

\frac{divends(1+growth)}{return-growth} \div \frac{divends}{return-growth}\\\\\frac{divends(1+growth)}{return-growth} \times\frac{return-growth}{divends}\\\\\frac{divends(1+growth)}{divends}= 1+ growth

We have demostrate that next year stock should increase by 1 + growth so statement c is correct.

Virty [35]

Answer:

net income cash-basis     8,000

income accrual-basis        7,900

Explanation:

cash revenues                32,000

salaries expense         <u>  (24,000)  </u>

net income cash-basis     8,000

<u>sales for the period:</u>

beginning AR + sales - collected = ending AR

3,000 + sales - 32,000 =  5,500

sales = 34,500

<u>salaries expense:</u>

beginning salaries payables + salaries - paid = ending salaries payable

3,100 + salaries - 24,000 = 5,700

salaries 26,600

revenues                    34,500

salaries                     <u>  (26,600)  </u>

income accrual-basis   7,900
