Answer: The correct answer is "drivers who value speed and convenice more than hose in the stop and go lanes and are willing to pay additional express pass fees for the option of avoiding traffic jams".

Explanation: In this example, the drivers who purchase these express passes are probably: <u>those who value speed and comfort more than others, and are willing to pay an additional price for the option to avoid traffic jams.</u>

In this example there are 2 types of drivers, those who do not mind wasting time, and take longer in slow lanes with traffic jams in order to pay nothing additional, and on the other hand those drivers who prefer, that is, give it a higher value , at the speed and go fast without traffic jams wherever they want, regardless of whether they have to pay an additional price.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The depreciation expense for Year 1 under units of production method is $5200.

Explanation:

The units of production method of depreciation charges the depreciation expense based on the activity level for which the asset was used during a period. There is an estimated useful life of the asset in terms of how many units it is expected to produce through out its useful life. The formula for units of production method of depreciation is,

Depreciation charge per unit = (Cost - Salvage value)  /  Total estimated useful  of asset in units

Thus, per unit depreciation is =  (30000 - 6000) / 60000    =  $0.4 per mile

In the first year, the asset is used for 13000 miles so depreciation expense for the year is,

Depreciation expense Year 1 = 0.4 * 13000  =  $5200

Bond issue costs reduce the cash proceeds from the issuance of debt. do not affect the cash proceeds from the issuance of debt.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

increase the effective interest rate of borrowing

Explanation:

Cost of debt refers to the total cost a company incurs for raising debt which includes fixed coupon rate payments to bondholders.

Cost of debt is calculated using the following formula:

K_{d} = \frac{I(1\ -\ t)}{NP}

wherein K_{d} = Cost of debt

             I = annual rate of coupon payment

             t= tax rate

            NP = Net proceeds which is par value less issue expenses

when NP is taken as the base, while calculating cost of debt, it is termed as effective interest rate.

So, bond issue costs reduce the net proceeds and thus, increase the effective interest rate of borrowing for the issuer company.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The correct option here is B) $9,961.

Explanation:

For taking out the adjusted cash balance at June 30 we will subtract the error in ledger amount and debit memo for monthly service charge and add the interest earned from the initial cash balance before any adjustment is made.

INITIAL CASH BALANCE = $10,012

(-) ERROR IN LEDGER      = $95 -$59

                                         = $36 ( this is the amount that Almond co's have to

                                                    pay more )

(+) INTEREST EARNED    = $35

(-) SERVICE CHARGES    = $50

ADJUSTED CASH BALANCE = $9961

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26

Explanation:

A zero coupon bond is a kind of bond that does not pay interest to the bond holder like other bonds. Instead it is offered at a discount price and pays the par value at maturity. The discount price is calculated using a certain rate which can also be called the implied interest rate on this zero coupon bond. The formula to calculate the price of the zero coupon bond is,

Bond Price = Par Value / (1 + r)^t

Where,

  • r is the interest rate or the discount rate
  • t is the number of periods to maturity

Bond Price = 1000 / (1+0.115)^5

Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26

1. Suppose that 10 years ago you bought a home for $150,000, paying 10% as a down payment, and financing the rest at 8% interest
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Down payment = $15,000

2. The existing mortgage (loan) was for $135,000

3. The current monthly payment on the existing mortgage is $990.58

4. The total interest over the life of the existing loan = $221,609.58

6. The amount of the original loan paid off is $22,319.

7. Total amount paid to the loan company over the last 10 years is $258,928.58 ($243,928.58 + $15,000)

8. Total interest paid over the last 10 years is $221,609.58

9. The equity in the home is $67,319 ($180,000 - $112,681)

10. The new monthly payments will be $675.58

11. Saving each month because of the lower monthly payment is $315 ($990.58 - $675.58)

12. Total Interest = $352,137.21 ($221,609.58 + $130,527.63)

13. It does not make sense to refinance because what is saved per month cannot compare with the additional interest expense to be incurred for prolonging the payments.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Cost of a home = $150,000

10% down payment = $15,000

Existing Mortgage = $135,000 ($150,000 - $15,000)

Home Price  150000

 Down Payment  10 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  8%

House Price $150,000.00

Loan Amount $135,000.00

Down Payment $15,000.00

Total of 360 (30 years * 12)

Mortgage Payments $356,609.58

Total Interest $221,609.58

Ten years after, the loan balance has been reduced by $22,319 ($135,000 - $112,682)

Refinancing calculations:

Home Price  112681

 Down Payment  0 %

Loan Term  30  years

Interest Rate  6

   

Monthly Pay:   $675.58 Monthly

Total Mortgage Payment $243,208.63

Total Out-of-Pocket $243,208.63

Total of 360 Mortgage Payments $243,208.63

Total Interest $130,527.63
