Barbara got a flat tire and does not have a spare. She needs her car for work, so she goes to a business that offers payday loan

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Ans. c) The annual percentage rate of the loan is approximately 913%

Explanation:

Hi, well, she borrowed $75 and paid $90 ($75 + $15 fee) in 8 days. So we need to use the following formula to check what 8 days percentage rate was applied to this loan.

$r=\frac{FinalValue}{InitialValue} -1$

That is:

$r=\frac{90}{75} -1=0.20$

So she pays 20% for 8 days, to know the annual rate (approx.) we need to do the following operation.

$r(Annual)=\frac{0.20}{8Days} *\frac{365Days}{1Year} =\frac{9.13}{1Year}$

That is 913% per year.

Best of luck.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

D. Credit for $2.5 million

Explanation:

The depreciation expense to be recorded in the subsidiary individual accounts in respect of equipment is given below:

Depreciation expense to recorded in subsidiary accounts=$40 million/10

=$4 million

Since for the consolidated accounts we consider the fair value of the assets of the subsidiary and not the book values of assets, so for the purpose of consolidation, the depreciation expense of the equipment shall be recorded based on its fair value and not its book value in the following manner:

Depreciation expense to recorded in consolidated accounts=$15 million/10

=$1.5 million

Effect on consolidated depreciation expense= depreciation expense recorded in subsidiary accounts-depreciation expense recorded in consolidated accounts

Effect on consolidated depreciation expense=$4 million-$1.5 million

=$2.5 million

So based on the above calculation, the answer is D. Credit for $2.5 million
