Alja [10]

Answer:

b. 8.225%

Explanation:

The rate formula will be used to solve this question.

Please note that the NPER represents the time value.

Where;

Present value is $754.08

Let's assume that the face value is $1,000

PMT= 1,000 x 7.25% ÷2

=$36.25

NPER= 9 years x 2

= 18 years

The formulae is therefore

Rate(NPER,PMT,-,PV,FV)

The value of the present value is negative.

a. The pretax would therefore be 11.75%

b. After tax cost of debt would be ;

Pretax cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

11.75% x (1 - 30%)

11.75% x (1 - 0.03)

=8.225%.

Fudgin [204]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2. TFC = $300

Q = 300 , AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.

Explanation:

First part of this question reads:

In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.

The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.

When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
