You have an outstanding student loan with required payments of $500 per month for the next four years. The interest rate on the

loan is 9% APR​ (compounded monthly). Now that you realize your best investment is to prepay your student​ loan, you decide to prepay as much as you can each month. Looking at your​ budget, you can afford to pay an extra $ 175 a month in addition to your required monthly payments of $500​, or $675 in total each month. How long will it take you to pay off the​ loan?

Answer:

<em>n = 33.8108479</em>

Explanation:

We will calculate the current principal

And then calculate the time period it takes with a higher payment of 675 dollars per month:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C $ 500

time      48 ( 4 years x 12 months per year)

rate 0.0075 (9% annual divide by 12 months)

500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0075)^{-48} }{0.0075} = PV\\

PV $20,092.3909

Now we recalculate n:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C  $675.00

time n

rate    0.0075

PV $20,092.3900

675 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0075)^{-n} }{0.0075} = 20092.39\\

<u>from the annuity formula we solve as we can until arrive at this situation:</u>

(1+0.0075)^{-n}= 1-\frac{20092.39\times0.0075}{675}

(1+0.0075)^{-n}= 0.77675122

<u>We use logarithmics properties to solve for n:</u>

-n= \frac{log0.77675122}{log(1+0.0075)}

<em>n = 33.8108479</em>

Which of the following statements is true of​ just-in-time (JIT)​ purchasing? A. Only disadvantage of JIT purchasing is the high
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

B. In JIT​ purchasing, raw materials​ (or goods) are purchased so that products are delivered just as needed for production or sales.

Explanation:

JIT stands for Just in time management.  It is an inventory management approach that advocates for the purchase of materials just when they are needed for production. In JIT, there is no storing of materials for use for future production. The purchase of materials is aligned with the production process.

The success of JIT is dependent on management ability to forecast sales volumes accurately.  Management must work with reliable suppliers to ensure that materials are available when required. JIT lower's the cost of inventory management by eliminating the need to store huge quantities of materials. It reduces wastage by doing away with losses that arise due to the storage of bulk materials.

Grecian Tile Manufacturing of Athens, Georgia, borrows $1,500,000 at LIBOR plus a lending margin of 1.25 percent per annum on a
shtirl [24]

Answer: 92812.50

Explanation:

The following information can be derived from the question:

Loan principal = $1,500,000

LIBOR for 1st 6 months = 4.50%

LIBOR for last 6 months = 5.375%

Lending margin per annum = 1.25%

The interest will then be:

= 1,500,000 × [(4.50% + 1.25%)/2] + 1,500,000 × [(5.375% + 1.25%)/2]

= 1,500,000 × [(0.045 + 0.0125)/2] + 1,500,000 × [(0.05375 + 0.0125)/2]

= 92,812.50

Therefore, the interest is 92812.50.

A company understated its ending inventory balance by $5,000 in 2018. What impact will this error have on cost of goods sold and
madreJ [45]

Answer:

COGS overstated for 5,000

Explanation:

<em>The COGS will be overstated  for the same ammount,</em> that is because of the inventory identity.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS

If ending Inventory has a problem, it will be transferred to COGS as well to equalize the formula

If ending Inventory is understated it means their alue is less than it's real value,

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase \neq Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS

so to balance the formula COGS need to be overstated.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS(Real COGS + EI error)
