lidiya [134]

Answer:

APR is 330% and EAR is 1745.53%

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly interest rate = 27.5%

APR or annual percentage rate = 27.5×12 = 330%

So, Big Dom should report an APR of 330% to customers.

EAR or effective annual rate = (1+\frac{APR}{m}) ^{m}-1

Here,

APR is 330% and m is 12

330÷12 = 27.5%

substituting the value in the above formula:

EAR = 1.275^{12}-1

        = 17.4553 or 1745.53%

ryzh [129]

Explanation:

All factors could directly explain the fact that opera Y generated far greater net profits that did opera X except for this one. Although the subject matter might have some impact on sales, it could not do so in a direct way. It could only do so if we take other factors into account, such as the cost of producing a particular opera or the interest that people have on an opera (which results in greater or lesser ticket sales).
