A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 18.7 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $42,000, the interest for t
he year will be $7,854. Because you must repay a total of $49,854 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $49,854/12, or $4,154.50 per month over the next 12 months. a. What rate would legally have to be quoted
1 answer:
Answer:
32.88%
Explanation:
For computing the rate we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $42,000
Future value or Face value = $0
PMT = $4,154.50
NPER = 12 months
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying this above formula, the rate is
= 2.74% × 12 months
= 32.88%

Answer:
Explanation:
When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.
Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).
The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.
Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.
b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.
Answer:
10,064 bonds
Explanation:
Given:
Amount to be raised = $2,800,000
Par value (FV) = $1,000
Maturity (nper) = 20×2 = 40 periods
Yield (rate) = 6.49 ÷ 2 = 3.245% or 0.03245
Coupon payment is 0 as it's a zero coupon bond.
Assume it's compounded semi-annually.
Calculate the price of the bond today using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)
Price of bond is $278.23
PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.
Number of bonds to be sold = Total amount to be raised ÷ Price of bond
= 2,800,000 ÷ 278.23
= 10,064 bonds
Company should sell 10,064 bonds to raise $2.8 million
