Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: the product is now relatively more expensive than it was before.

Explanation:

To begin with, the <em>substitution effect</em> is the term that, in economics, refers to the situation where a products or services increase or decrease its value in comparison with other and therefore it causes a substitution from the consumer regarding that change in the price.

Secondly, in the case where a product increases its price the substitution effect will cause that the consumer decides to purchase other products due to the fact that the first product is now relatively more expensive than it was before and therefore a substitution of the good takes place.

The earnings per share ratio (EPS), is an entities net income after tax that is available the shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock that are outstanding during the period of the earnings.

As such, given;

Home loans typically involve "points," which are fees charged by the lender. Each point charged means that the borrower must pay

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Ans. The effective annual interest rate charged on the loan is 12.99% effective annually. (Please see the attached excel spread sheet)

Explanation:

Hi, attached is the amortization table that I made for this case. Notice that there is a yellow and green cell, the yellow one is the result of using the "IRR" function of MS Excel which provides an effective monthly rate, since the payments are made every month, then we have to transform that monthly effective rate into an effective annual rate, this is the formula to use.

$EffectiveAnnual=(1+EffectiveMonthly)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1$

That is:

$EffectiveAnnual=(1+0.012267477)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1=0.12986448$

Which we round to 12.99% effective annually.

Finally, notice that I didnt use the payments to find the effective rate, I used the cash flow, that was because you didn´t receive all the 100K (the fee, remember?), you received $98,000.

Best of luck.
