Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
Answer:B. $1,500
Explanation:
Interest revenue is money earned when an entity or individual loans money to another. it can also be regarded as money accrued from investments. IT is calculated as
Interest Revenue = Principal x Rate x Time
= $100,000 x 6% x 90/360
= $100,000 x 0.06 x 0.25
= $1,500
Therefore the interest charge by the bank is $1500.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Merchandise Inventory.
Explanation:
Lower-of-cost-or-market value is a strategy by which the costs of inventory on the company's Balance Sheet is reported at historical value -purchase cost- or market value, whatever it is lower. The lower-of-cost-or-market approach considers the value of inventory can change, meaning it can increase but it can decrease as well. For both purposes, the lower-of-cost-or-market value can be used. This technique follows the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Therefore, <em>merchandise inventory, which can fluctuate in price during a period, is reported using the lower-of-cost-or-market value method.</em>
Answer:
It will take approximately 55 years
Explanation:
<em>The future value of a lump sum is the amount expected at a future date when a sum of money is invested today at a particular rate of interest for certain number of years</em>
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV= 50,000, PV = 4,000, n-?, r- 5%
50,000 = 4,000 × (1.05)^n
divide both sides by 4000
12.5 = 1.05^n
n= log 12.5/log 1.05
n = 51.8
The number of years = 51.8 + 3 years
=54.767
Approximately 55 years
It will take 55 years
