Answer:

The correct answer to the problem is 7.728%

Explanation:

Lucas marginal tax rate = 32 percent

Tax rate on dividends = 16 percent

Dividend yield of a dividend-paying stock (with no growth potential) = 9.20 percent.

Dividend yield multiplied by ( 1- tax rate on dividends)

One of your customers is delinquent on his accounts payable balance. You’ve mutually agreed to a repayment schedule of $500 per

jekas [21]

Answer: Number of months = 66.87 months

Explanation:

Given that,

Monthly Payment = $500

Interest rate(r) = 1.95% per month

Current Balance = $18,500

Number of months(t) = ?

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-present\ value\ factor}{r})$

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{t}} }{r})$

$18,500 = 500\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.0195)^{t}} }{0.0195})$

$\frac{18,500}{500}\times0.0195=1-\frac{1}{1.0195^{t} }$

$\frac{1}{1.0195^{t}}=1-0.7215$

$1.0195^{t}=\frac{1}{0.2785}$

$1.0195^{t}=3.5906$

Taking log on both side

t log(1.0195) = log(3.5906)

$t = \frac{0.5551}{0.0083}$

t = 66.87 months
