Answer:

This study was carried on by Jiang, Zhenling, during the first semester of 2019 and it involved more than 35 million auto loans in the US. The author determined that monthly payments carrying a $9 ending digit, e.g. $199, had a highest interest rate charged. While those monthly payments carrying a $0 ending digit, e.g. $200, had the lowest interest rate charged. African American and Latin consumers were the most negatively affected groups by the higher interest rates.

The study showed that an effective bargaining tactic would decrease total payments significantly. This research also includes a lot of other information regarding the total economic effects of ending digit bias.

Explanation:

I personally guess that many car sellers and auto loans institutions tempt both African American and Latin consumers by using apparently lower monthly payments (psychologically we all consider $199 to be much cheaper than $200) in order to charge higher interest rates. They also probably offer longer term loans, e.g. 5-6 year loans instead of 3-4 year loans.

Sav [38]

Answer:

A. $737,520

B. $530,320

Explanation:

a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.

First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate

Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000

Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000

Depletion Rate= 0.28

Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.

2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000

2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520

Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520

B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.

Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000

Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000

Expense amount charged=$530,320

Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320

The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $2.15 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$34.4

$37.20

c) $59.57

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Required return = 10.5% = 0.105

Now,

a) Present value = $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

for the current price n = 1

thus,

Current price = $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1+growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^1}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

= $34.4

b) Price in 3 years

i.e n = 3

= $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^3}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

$37.20

c) Price in 15 years

i.e n = 15

= $\frac{\textup{Dividend paid}\times\textup{(1 +growth rate)}^n}{\textup{(Required return-Growth rate)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2.15}\times\textup{(1 +0.04)}^{15}}{\textup{(0.105-0.04)}}$

= $59.57
