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%
A. True
The CPI is a measure of the cost of a "basket" of typical consumer goods, so if the cost of these goods goes down most families will spend less on average.
Answer:
a) Portfolio ABC's expected return is 10.66667%
Explanation:
The expected return is based on the risk factor of a project. If a project has higher risk its rate of return will be higher. Portfolio ABC has one third of its funds invested in each stock. The return of on A and B are 20% and 10%. Their beta is 1.0 for both the stocks while stock C has beta 1.4. The portfolio expected return will be 10.66667%.
Answer:
a. current tax rate or future tax rates, depending on when the temporary difference will reverse.
Explanation:
Deferred Tax is not payable to tax Authority it is only a book entry used by Accountants to match Income taxes payable in terms of Income Act and Income taxes expected to be presented to users in financial Statements.
Deferred taxes are based on current tax rate or future tax rates, depending on when the temporary difference will reverse.
Answer: Inventories and cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
Standard costing is used in accounting and it simply has to do with the substitution of the cost that's expected for a product with an actual cost when preparing financial statements.
The difference that's then between the actual costs and expected costs are then recorded as variance. It should also be noted that when a company prepares financial statements using standard costing, the items that are reported at standard cost will be Inventories and the cost of goods sold.
