I think the best option for her to would be borrow the money at the interest rate of 5% for the motorcycle because that will be the debt will be her cheapest way instead of taking out a second mortgage on her home and another question that she should ask is the length of time it will take her to pay back the loan

Answer:

After-tax cost of borrowing = Interest rate x (1-tax rate)

Part a)  

Since Bella can’t deduct the interest payments on the loan taken from the dealer in her tax return, after-tax cost of borrowing will be the same as stated interest rate. So, the after-tax cost of borrowing from the dealership will be 5%.

Part b)  

After-tax cost of borrowing for second mortgage = 7% x (1-25%)  

After-tax cost of borrowing for second mortgage = 5.25%

Part c)

It is evident from the above two answers that borrowing loan from the dealer is less costly for Bella.

Part d)

Yes, Bella must consider the level of her first mortgage loan. If Bella opts for the second mortgage loan and if she is unable to pay her mortgage, she may lose her home due to this loan. So, she must check first, if she is able to pay the loan on time.

Total fixed costs for Taylor Incorporated are​ $260,000. Total​ costs, including both fixed and​ variable, are​ $500,000 if​ 156
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The variable cost per unit is $1.54

Explanation:

Variable costs are those cost which vary with the change in production of units means higher the production higher cost and lower production will result in lower cost e.g Material cost, labor cost etc.

On the other hand fixed cost the cost which does not vary with the production of units. It is fixed no matter what is the level of production.

According to given data:

Total Cost = $500,000

Fixed Cost = $260,000

Variable cost = Total cost - fixed cost

Variable cost = $500,000  $260,000

Variable cost = $240,000

Number of units = 156,000

Variable cost per unit = $240,000 / 156,000 = $1.54 per unit

Ceramic Customs Co. requires a specific type of ceramic to make custom-made tiles. Since only one supplier makes that particular
kramer

Answer:

a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.

Explanation:

This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.

Hope that helps.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<em>MISSING INFORMATION:</em>

   concept                     //    Year 2     //     Year 1

Sales                                     7,620             7,450

Account Receivables             655                588

Answer:

Yes, there is. The days to collect increase by 4.16 to 29.77 from 26.61

Which is a bad sing as the company delays more to collect form their customers

Explanation:

Account Receivable turnover:

Average receivable:

(458 + 588 ) / 2  =  523

7,450 / 523 =   14.25

Days to collect: 365 / 14.25 = 25,61

Second Year:

Average receivable: (655 + 588) / 2 = 621.5

Turnover: 7,620 / 621.5 =  12.26

Days to collect: 365 / 12.26 = 29,77

29.77 - 25.61 = 4.16
