First we need to calculate the monthly discount rate for the lease arrangement (EAR):

EAR = (1 + APR / k)^k - 1

= (1 + .06 / 4)^4 – 1

<span> = .06136 or 6 .14% </span>

Monthly rate = (1 + EAR)^(1/12) – 1

= (1.06136)^(1/12) - 1

= .004975 = 0.4975%

Now we can apply the formula for the PV of a constant annuity:

I = .4975

N = 60 = (5 years × 12 months/yr)

FV = 0

PMT = $4000 (lease payment)

Compute PV = 207,051.61

<span>Answer:  Therefore you should purchase the new delivery truck.</span>

Suppose a​ seven-year, $ 1 comma 000 bond with a 7.8 % coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The price of the bond is  1,072.19  

Explanation:

The price at which the bond trades for can be computed using the pv formula in excel which tries to discount to present value all the cash inflows receivable from the bond into today's present worth.

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity of 6.50% divided by 2 since the bond pays interest semi-annually i.e 3.25%

nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would pay which is 7 years multiplied by 2 i.e 14

pmt is the semi-annual interest of the bond which is $1000*7.8%/2=$39

the fv is the face value of the bond of $1000

=-pv(6.5%/2,14,39,1000)=$1,072.19

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by ​, by how much can variable expenses per unit increase and still allow the co
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question

Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by  : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

When using the periodic system the physical inventory count is used to determine Select one: a. both the cost of the goods sold
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

a. both the cost of the goods sold and the cost of ending inventory.

Explanation:

The physical count is used in the periodic inventory system to calculate the amount of ending inventory. However the cost of goods sold can be derived from using the ending inventory count. Suppose we have ending inventory of 100 units and Purchases were 500 units  Also there were no beginning inventory units so the Cost of goods Sold can be calculated as

Cost of Goods Sold= Beginning Inventory Add Purchases Less Ending Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold=  0 + 500- 100= 400

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy causes net export
maxonik [38]

Answer: Decrease and Increase

Explanation:

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy will cause the net exports to decrease. Expansionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve rightwards, as a result BOP surplus created in the economy. So, exchange rate decreases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of lower exchange rate, exports falls. Hence, net exports decreases.

Expansionary Monetary policy will cause the net exports to increases. Expansionary Monetary policy shifts the LM curve rightwards, as a result BOP deficit created in the economy. So, exchange rate increases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of higher exchange rate, exports increases. Hence, net exports increases.
