Answer:
Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.
Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate
Explanation:
Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%
Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.
 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
(D) $ 1,450
Explanation:
The ending balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated by the following equation.
Opening Balance + Allowance for the year - Receivables written off = Ending Balance
 $ 1,610 + $ 1,590 (0.5 % of sales on credit, $ 318,000 *0.5%) - $ 1,750 ( Receivables written off) = Adjusted allowance for uncollectible accounts <u>$ 1,450</u>
The amounts collected are not relevant in  calculating the ending balalnce

Answer:
C. decreased by $40 billion
Explanation:
For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:
We know that
Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio 
                             = 1 ÷ 20%
                             = 5
So, the total cash would be 
= $10 billion × $5
= $50 million
Now the lending ability would be
=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)
= $50 billion × 0.80
= $40 billion
