Answer:
$4,303.68
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = $10,000 / 32.835 (PVIFA, 1%, 40 periods) = $304.55
After 6 years, the principal due = $4,483
Present value of an annuity = payment x PVIFA = $304.55 x 14.13126 (PVIFA, 1.5%, 16 periods) = $4,303.68
The difference is not significant since the remaining payments are not many, and the increase in quarterly rate is only 0.5%
Answer: I decreases; II decreases; III decreases
Explanation:
Debt Covenants becoming more restrictive means that less people want to borrow money. This shifts the demand curve to the left and this Decreases interest rates.
The Fed increasing money supply means that there is more money in the economy. This shifts the supply curve to the right thus having the effect of reducing Interests rates as there is more money available for loans.
Total Household Wealth increasing means that Households have less of an incentive to borrow money. This reduces the demand for interest rates so interest rates decrease.
ROI as a financial ratio is calculated as follows:
ROI = Net profit/Total investments
In the current case,
Net profit = Net operating income = $700,000
Total investments = Operating assets = $600,000
After purchasing the new machine,
Total investments = 600,000*1.08 = $648,000
Therefore, the new ROI is;
ROI = 700,000/648,000 ≈ 1.08 = 108%
