Kim is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living a

t home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $1,230 per month. Her employer deducts $165 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $134 on several credit card debts each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $172 per month. Help Kim make her decision by calculating her debt payments-to-income ratio with and without the college loan. (Remember the 20 percent rule.)

Answer:

Debt to income ratio is all your debt payments divided by all the money you earn during a month. Generally you are considered to be in good financial shape when your debt to income ratio is less than 20%, if it's less than 10% it is even better.

Kim's gross income = $1,230 - $165 (taxes) = $1,065

Kim's total debt payments without new debt = $134 (credit card payments)

Kim's total debt payments including new debt = $134 + $172 (new debt) = $306

Kim's debt to income ration without new debt = $134 / $1,065 = 12.58%

Kim's debt to income ration with new debt = $306 / $1,065 = 28.73%

Currently Kim's debt to income ratio is only 12.58% which is very good, but if she takes the new loan then her ratio will increase to 28.73% which is extremely high and not prudent.

Rauch Inc. leases a piece of equipment to Donahue Corp. on Jan 1 2017. The lease agreement called for annual rental payments of
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Suppose the instead of $8,250, Rauch expects the residual value at the end of the lease to be $5,000, but Donahue agrees to guarantee a residual value of $8,250. All other facts being eqaul, how would Rauch change the amount of the annual rental payments, if at all?

<em>A lower residual value means the car is expected to hold its value less (depreciate more) over the lease term. </em>

<em>Therefore, since most of the lease payment covers the cost of depreciation., more depreciation (or lower residual value) will most likely result into higher monthly payments over the lease term.</em>

<em />

2. Explain how a fully guaranteed residual value by Donahue would change the accounting for Rauch, the lessor.

<em>The financial accounting term </em><em><u>guaranteed residual value</u></em><em> has to do with an additional payment made by a lessee in property, cash, or both at the termination of the lease. </em>

<em>Therefore since Guaranteed residual values are financial commitments made by the lessee, they are factored into the calculation of the minimum lease payment.</em>

<em />

3. Explain how a bargain renewal option for one extra year at the end of the lease term would change the accounting of the lease for Rauch, the lessor.

<em>A bargain renewal option is a clause in a lease contract that gives the lessee the option of extension of the term of the lease at a substantially lower trate than the going market rate. </em>

<em>The presence of this clause in a lease contract will most likely imply that the lease will change to a finance lease rather than an operating lease</em>

True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Freedonia and Lamponia would have been able to consume at the after-trad
solniwko [45]

"Without engaging in international trade, Freedonia and Lamponia would have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles" is FALSE.

<u>Option:</u> B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specialization refers to countries' propensity to focus in certain items they exchange for other commodities, rather than to manufacture all the consumer goods on their own. As the PPF production possibilities frontier displays that production is impractical, Freedonia and Lamponia had to engage in international trade.

Both countries are able to consume the goods they produce.When a country is skilled in manufacturing a good, it can manufacture this good at a lower cost of opportunity than its trading nation. For this comparative advantage, both countries benefit from competing and trading with one another.

The purpose of preparing a direct materials budget is to ________. multiple choice 1 allocate the cost of raw materials to produ
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1. estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased.

2. ending raw materials inventory for the last period.

Explanation:

A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.

The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.

The final step by the management of an organization in the financial decision making process is making necessary adjustments to the budget.

The benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.

1. The purpose of preparing a direct materials budget is to estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased. This includes the raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of finished goods.

2. In a direct materials budget, the desired ending raw materials inventory for the year is equal to the ending raw materials inventory for the last period.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The level of saving =  $450 billion - $400 billion= $50 billion

Marginal propensity to save = 1- marginal propensity to consume (MPC)=0.5

Expected consumption

MPC=  change in Consumption/ change in income 200 billion * 0.5 = $100billion

Therefore consumption = 100 billion + 400 billion = $500 billion

Saving = $650 billion - $500 billion=  $ 150 billion

First Financial Auto Loan Department wishes to know the payment required at the first of each month on a $10,500, 48-month, 11%
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

First Financial would divide the $10,500 loan by the present value of annuity due of 1.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Present value of annuity formula is used for determining the amount                   of loan payment. Since the payments will be made at the beginning of each month, we will apply the formula for present value of annuity due. In order to determine the amount of monthly payment, we will divide the principal by the present value of annuity due of 1.
