Answer:

D. there are reasonable substitutes for most goods.

Explanation:

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in the industry. There are also no subsituites for goods and services produced by the monopoly. The monopoly sets the price for his product and earns economic profit in the long and short run.

There aren't a lot of monopolies in the real world because most goods have substitutes. Therefore, consumers can substitute the monopoly product for another product and there isn't just one firm operating in the industry.

Consider a two-step mortgage for $150,000, 30 years, monthly payments, an initial interest rate of 5%, a cap of 5%, and a single

gladu [14]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

This 2-step mortgage problem requires a 2-step solution.

To solve for the PMT for the last 23 years of the loan, we first need to know what the principal is at the end of the 7th year.

Thus, step I uses the initial info to solve for the PMT for each month of the first 7 years. N=360, I/Y=5(%)/12 = 0.416667(%), PV=150,000, => PMT = 805.

The discount rate will change to 5% index rate plus 2% margin = 7% at the beginning of the 8th year.

In Step II we first determine the remaining balance at the end of year 7. This requires using the amortization worksheet.

On the TI BA II Plus, AMORT is the secondary function of PV.

Set P1, the periods at which the calculations begin, equal to 1. We cursor down to P2, which is the last period of the calculation, and set it equal to 84. Cursoring down once again, we see that BAL at month 84 = 131,917.52.

Going back to the TVM row, we set PV remaining at the end of 23 years = 131,917.52. I/Y is calcluated as 5(%) index rate plus 2(%) margin =7%; dividing 7(%) by 12 = 0.583333(%). N=360-84 = 276 months left.

Finally, we solve for PMT = 962.89.

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $5

forsale [732]

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

A buyer with a 15-year, $250,000 loan at a 5.5% interest rate has a monthly principal and interest payment totaling $2,042.71. W

lorasvet [3.4K]

Given:

Loan amount = $250000

Interest rate = 5.5%

Interest payment = $2042.71

To find:

Total amount of interest

Solution:

The total number of months in 15 years = $15\times12=180\text{ years }$

Total monthly payments will be $180\times \$2042.71 = \$367687.8$

So, the total pay-backs will be $3,67,687.8

Total interest paid will be as follows,

$\text{Total interest paid = Total pay-backs - Loan amount}$

On plugging-in the values in the above formula we get,

$\Rightarrow \$3,67,687.8-\$250,000=\$1,17,687.80$

Therefore, the total amount of interest that the borrower will pay over the course of the loan is $1,17,687.80.
