Answer:

Explanation:

To find the answer, you have to use the formula to calculate the rate of interest:

r=(FV/PV)^1/n-1, where

r= rate of interest

FV= future value=$93,228

PV= present value=$68,500

n= number of periods of time=4 years

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

r=(93,228/68,500)^1/4-1

r=1.08-1

r=0.08→8%

According to this, the APR is 8%.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Existing Equity = 20 million

Existing debt = 60 million

Total capital = 20 million + 60 million = 80 million

a. Given company issued 30 million of equity to retire debt

Equity after raise = $20 million + $30 million = $50 million

Debt = $60 million - $30 million = $30 million

Total capital size remain at $80 million

Capital structure, Equity = $50 million/$80 million = 0.625 = 62.50%

Debt = (1-0.625) = 0.375 = 37.50%

A liquid company produces hand sanitizer which has demand of 300,000 units per year.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

EOQ = = 15,491.93 units

Optimal order interval 18.8 days (19.36 orders in year)

Total cost = $150,774.60

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

It is computed using he formulae below

EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch

Co- ordering cost per order- 20,

Ch -Holding cost per unit per annum- 10%× $0.5= 0.05

Annual demand: D- 300,000

EOQ = √(2× 20 * 2,580)/(10%× 0.5)

= 15,491.93 units

Assuming 365 days, the optimal order interval in dates

Number of orders per year

= annual demand/EOQ

= 300,000/ 15,491.93

= 19.36 times

in days:

= EOQ/300,000 × 365 days

= (15,491.93/ 300,000) × 365 days

= 18.8 days

Total annual cost =

Total cost Purchase cost + Carrying cost + ordering cost 

Purchase cost = $0.5 × 300,000 = 150,000

Carrying cost = (15,491.93/2) * 10%*0.5 = 387.29

Ordering cost = (300,000/15,491.93 ) × 20 = 387.29

Total cost 150,774.60
