Answer:
Interest rates and investment
If interest rates are increased then it will tend to discourage investment because investment has a higher opportunity cost. With higher rates, it is more expensive to borrow money from a bank. Saving money in a bank gives a higher rate of return.
Answer:
$7.96
Explanation:
the first month's principal balance = $400 (initial purchase) - $20 (first payment) = $380
the second month's principal balance = $380 (carried over) + $18 (second purchase) = $398
the interest charged on the second month's principal = $398 x 2% = $7.96
Answer:
a. borrowers gain at the expense of lenders
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the sustained increase of the price of a commodity over a period of time.
It can be caused due to increase in production cost or increased demand of a good or service.
The losers during inflation are the creditors because the money loaned out had more value or purchasing power compared to what is repaid. This is due to the fact the borrower will still owe the lender the same amount .
Answer:
Unitary cost= $12.30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead rate:
Rate 1= 150% of material costs
Rate 2= $7.25 per direct labor hour.
Production:
540 neckties
raw materials= $2,110
Direct labor hours= 69 direct labor hours at a total cost of $865.
First, we need to calculate the total cost:
Total cost= 2,110 + 865 + (1.5*2,110 + 7.25*69)
Total cost= $6,640.25
Unitary cost= 6,640.25/540= $12.30
Answer:
7.28%
Explanation:
For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below:
Provided that
Present value = $1,075
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the coupon rate is
= 3.64% × 2
= 7.28%
