Answer:

Explanation:

Mortgage rates are influenced by many different factors including demand from homebuyers and homeowners for new loans, current economic conditions, inflation, and demand from investors to buy mortgage loan debt

Mortgage interest rates have a very significant impact on the overall long-term cost of purchasing a home through financing. On the one hand, mortgage borrowers are seeking the lowest possible rates; on the other, mortgage lenders must manage their risk through the interest rates they charge. The lowest mortgage interest rates are only available to borrowers with the most solid finances and stellar credit histories.

While the financial health of borrowers affects how good an interest rate they can get, larger economic factors and government financial policy affect the whole mortgage rate universe. You can boil it down to these five important factors. All represent basic rules of supply and demand in one form or another. It's a little technical, but learning these principles will give you a good way to think about what you're paying now and what could be coming

Answer a.

Effective Annual Rate of a loan is 8.92%

Answer b.

Effective Annual rate R is 12.27%

Answer is not affected by Loan amount as certain percentage of loan that is deducted as points.

Explanation:

Answer a  

Points deducted = 2 or 2%

April = 8.4%

Monthly rate (i)= 8.4%/12= 0.007

Months in a year = 12

Effective Annual Rate of a loan =( (1+(i/(1-points)))^months in year)-1

((1+(0.007/(1-2%)))^12)-1

=0.08916311096 or 8.92%

So Effective Annual Rate of loan is 8.92%

Answer b

quoted interest rate = 11.4%

Monthly rate (i)= 11.4%/12=0.0095

Months in year = 12

points deducted= 2 or 2%

EAR of loan =((1+(i/(1-points))) ^months in year)-1

((1+(0.0095/ (1-2%))) ^12)-1

=0.1227334817 or 12.27%

Answer is not affected by Loan amount as certain % of loan is deducted as points.

Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than
SashulF [63]

Complete Question:

Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations:

a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per

day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.

b. A furnace repair team that services an average of four furnaces a day if the design capacity is six furnaces a day and the

effective capacity is five furnaces a day.

c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than

those other systems? Explain.

Explanation:

It's not (true) actually. Whether the design capacity is comparatively (high), the utilisation could be (low) even though the efficiency was (high).

Utilisation = Output / Design capacity = \frac{17}{10} x 100%

Efficiency = Output / Effective capacity = \frac{7}{8}

Utilisation = \frac{4}{6}

Efficiency  = \frac{4}{5}

U = 1000/2000

e = 1000/1000

On December 31, 2017, Extreme Fitness has adjusted balances of $960,000 in Accounts Receivable and $87,000 in Allowance for Doub
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

What amount would the company report as its net accounts receivable on December 31, 2017?

Accounts Receivable $873,000

Prepare the journal entry to write off the accounts on January 2, 2018.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 26,000  

Accounts Receivable   $ 26,000

Assuming no other transactions occurred between December 31, 2017, and January 3, 2018, what amount would the company report as its net accounts receivable on January 3, 2018?

The same amount reported on December 31, 2017, if the company doesn't report any movement with the credit debtor there is nothing to do.

Has net accounts receivable changed from December 31, 2017?

The net accounts are the same there is not change in the balance because the write-off it's just a reclassification between the accounts, so the balance keep the same as before.

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable $873,000

The company reports as net accounts receivable the total amount on Accounts Receivable minus the total amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  which represent the amount of credit that won't be possible to collect, the result it's the total value on net accounts receivable.  

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 26,000  

Accounts Receivable   $ 26,000

As the company just recognized the accounts not collectible, at the moment of the write off it's just a reclasification between the accounts of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts and Accounts Receivable.

At this moment it's a certainly that the accounts won't be collected, that is why the entry is recorded.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Current share price =$77.81

Explanation:

Price of the stock today = \frac{D1}{(1+ke)^1}+\frac{D2}{(1+ke)^2}+\frac{D3}{(1+ke)^3}+\frac{D4}{(1+ke)^4}+\frac{P4}{(1+ke)^4}.

where P4 = \frac{D5}{ke-g}

where D5 = D4(1+g)

Price of the stock today = \frac{16}{(1+0.16)^1}+\frac{12}{(1+0.16)^2}+\frac{11}{(1+0.16)^3}+\frac{7.50}{(1+0.16)^4}+\frac{7.50(1.06)}{(0.16-0.06)(1+0.16)^4} = $77.81
