You borrow $210,000 to purchase a home. the terms of the loan call for monthly payments over 30 years at a mortgage rate of 4.50

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

First step, find the monthly payments.
Borrowed amount, P = 210000
Monthly interest, i = 0.045/12
Number of periods, n = 30*12=360

Monthly payment
$A=\frac{P(i*(1+i)^n)}{(1+i)^n-1}$
$=\frac{210000(0.045/12*(1+0.045/12)^360)}{(1+0.045/12)^360-1}$
$=1064.0392$ [to the 1/100 of a cent]

2. Calculate interest accumulated over 60 months
$I=210000((1+0.045/12)^{60}-1)$
$=52877.12$

3. Calculate value of payments
$F=\frac{A((1+i)^n-1)}{i}$
$=\frac{1064.039150634359((1+0.045/12)^{60}-1)}{0.045/12}$
$=71445.50$ to the nearest cent

4. Calculate percentage of interest paid
A. as a fraction of future values
Percentage of interest
=52877.12/71445.50
=74.01%
As a fraction of total amounts paid
Percentage of interest
=52877.12/(60*1064.0392)
=52877.12/63842.35
=82.82%

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. human capital conveys positive externalities.

Explanation:

Externalities are defined as consumption, production and investment decisions made by individuals, households and companies and that affect third parties that do not participate directly in those transactions. Sometimes those indirect effects are tiny. But when they grow up, they can be problematic; That is what economists call "externalities." Externalities are one of the main reasons that lead governments to intervene in the economy.

Positive externalities: In this case, it is about the difference between private and social benefits. For example, research and development activities are widely considered as generating positive effects that transcend the producer (usually the company that finances them). The reason is that research and development enrich general knowledge, which contributes to other discoveries and advances. However, the profitability perceived by a company that sells products based on its own research and development activities does not usually reflect the profitability perceived by its indirect beneficiaries. When externalities are positive, private profitability is lower than social profitability.

The 2008 balance sheet of Maria's Tennis Shop, Inc., showed $2.9 million in long-term debt, $770,000 in the common stock account

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

OCF = -$1,670,000

Explanation:

To calculate this, the following are first calculated:

Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - (Long-term debt in 2009 - Long-term debt in 2008) = $230,000 – (3,500,000 – 2,900,000) = -$370,000

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid – ((Common stock in 2009 + Additional paid-in surplus in 2009) - (Common stock in 2008 + Additional paid-in surplus in 2008)) = $550,000 – (($985,000 + $8,250,000) – ($770,000 + $6,000,000)) = -$1,915,000

Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders = -$370,000 - $1,915,000 = $2,285,000

The the firm's 2009 operating cash flow, or OCF can now be calculated as follows:

Cash flow from assets = OCF - Net working capital investment - Net capital spending

-$2,285,000 = OCF - (-$165,000) - $780,000

-$2,285,000 = OCF + $165,000 - $780,000

OCF = -$2,285,000 - $165,000 + $780,000 = -$1,670,000

On January 1, 2014, Evers Company purchased the following machine for use in its production process:

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

a) Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Evers should record each year of its useful life under the following assumptions. Show your workings.

(1) Straight-line method

depreciable value = $180,000 - $10,000 = $170,000 / 4 = $42,500 per year (same for each year)

(2) Double declining balance method

depreciation expense year 2014 = $180,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $90,000

depreciation expense year 2015 = $90,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $45,000

depreciation expense year 2016 = $45,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $22,500

depreciation expense year 2017 = $22,500

(3) Units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of machine is 125,000 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2014, 45,000 units; 2015, 35,000 units; 2016, 25,000 units; 2017, 20,000 units.

depreciation expense per unit = $170,000 / 125,000 units = $1.36

depreciation expense year 2014 = $1.36 x 45,000 = $61,200

depreciation expense year 2015 = $1.36 x 35,000 = $47,600

depreciation expense year 2016 = $1.36 x 25,000 = $34,000

depreciation expense year 2017 = $1.36 x 20,000 = $27,200

b) Which method used to calculate depreciation reports the highest amount of depreciation expense in year 1?

double declining balance

The highest in year 4?

straight line method

The highest total amount over the 4-year period?

double declining balance
