Each monthly payment is ​, so the student will be paying back per year.​ Therefore, because the principal of the loan is ​, the interest rate must be . The above student statement​ is: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest.​ Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to​ interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid. B. incorrect because the stated rate on the loan is​ 9% which means that even though the loan is made with monthly​ payments, the borrower is still effectively only charged​ 9% a year. C. correct because even though the stated interest rate is​ 9%, payments are made monthly which means it is compounded more times so the effective rate should work out to​ 15.24% D. correct because as the student​ states, there is a payment of per year that works out to​ 15.24%.

Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest.​ Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to​ interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

A monopoly is considering selling several units of a homogeneous product as a single package. a typical consumer's demand for th
just olya [345]

Answer:

A. 15 units

B. $130

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.

MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.

The consumer's demand for the product is:

Qd = 80 - 0.5P

Therefore, we have:

P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)

P = 160 - 2Qd

Recall that, Total Revenue:

TR = P * Q

So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2

MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q

Now, MR = MC

160 - 4Q = 100

4Q = 160 - 100

4Q = 60

Q = 60 / 4

Q = 15 units.

Now, P =160 - 2Q

P = 160 - 2(15)

P = 160 - 30 = 130

The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

a.

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

b.

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

c.

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4  the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%

During the 1990s, several airlines were on the brink of bankruptcy. These same airlines were giving away millions of dollars in
lara [203]

Answer:

Assuming that the elimination of frequent-flyer programs would have enabled the airlines to earn higher profits and remain in business, then it would be a purely good idea for the airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs.

The big question is, how much did the frequent-flyer programs cost the airlines?  Would the cost-savings be sufficient to eliminate their bankruptcies?  It is a known-fact that the airlines that create such programs always recover the program costs by charging higher fares.

Explanation:

The issue of airlines going bankruptcy does not seem to stem from customer-loyalty programs like the frequent-flyer programs.  The root cause lies in operational and other costs that airline managements have not been able to control.

Explanation:

The preparation is shown below:

Particulars Product X Product Y Product Z

Units produced 1,600           2,100         3,100

Sales Value at split off per unit $14 $19 $16

Total Sales Value at split off   (a) $22,400 $39,900 $49,600

Units produced 1,600 2,100 3,100    (X)

Sales Value per unit $20 $20 $25

Additional Processing cost per unit $5 $7 $7

Net Realizable Value = Sales value - Further costs $15 $13 $18 (y)

Total Realizable Value if processed further (b) $24,000 $27,300 $55,800   (x × Y)

Difference = b- a $1,600 -$12,600          $6,200

Processed further Yes            No               Yes

As the product X and product Z contains positive number so it should be processed and Product Y should not be processed as it contains negative number
