Answer:

<em>It will take me </em>= <em>30.99 years</em> to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

Explanation:

SOLUTION:

Using the Formula: A = P(1+r/n){nt}

Where:

A= $60.00;

P = $3,200.00;

r = 12.9%;

n = 12

t =?

Substituting the values into the Formula =

$60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.129/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00/$3,200.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}/$3200.00

= 0.01875 = (1.01075)12t

= Using the law of logarithm

= logA^{N} = Nlog A

=12tlog(1.01075) = log0.01875

= 12log(1.01075)/(1.01075) = log0.01875/log(1.01075)

=  12t = log(0.01875)/log1.01075

= 12t = 1.7270/0.04644

Divide 12 by both sides

=12t/12 = 371.88774/12

t= 30.9898

<em>∴ 30.99 years</em>

<em>It will take me </em>= 30.99 years to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

A cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a(n): incremental cost. opportunity co
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

sunk cost.

Explanation:

Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.

Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, a cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a sunk cost.

For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.

A customer sells short 100 shares of ABC stock at $74 per share. The stock falls to $66, at which point the customer writes 1 AB
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: $62

Explanation:

The customer sold the stock short at $74 per share. Later on, the customer sold a Sept 65, Put at $3 on this stock. If the short put is exercised, the customer is obligated to buy the stock at $65 per share. Since the customer received $3 in premiums when the put was sold, the net cost to the customer is $62 per share for the stock (this is the cost basis in the stock for tax purposes). The stock that has been purchased is delivered to cover the short sale, closing the transaction. The customer's gain is: $74 sale proceeds - $62 cost basis = 12 point gain.
