The solution to the problem about the sales-tax rate is as follows:

Sales tax rate = 1.92 / 32.00 = 0.06 = 6%

Therefore, the sales-tax rate of the silk scarf is 0.06 or 6% of the original price.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Jim has an annual income of $180,000. Jim is looking to buy a house with monthly property taxes of $140 and monthly homeowners i

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$787,471.02

Explanation:

Given:

Jim's annual income = $180,000

Monthly property taxes = $140

Monthly homeowners insurance = $70

Monthly student loan payments = $178

Maximum front end DTI limit = 28%

Maximum back end DTI limit = 36%

Amortizing period = 30 years = 360 months

annual rate = 4.5% compounded monthly

Now,

Monthly salary = $\frac{\textup{Annual income}}{\textup{12 months}}$

Monthly salary = $\frac{\textup{180,000}}{\textup{12 months}}$

Monthly salary = $15,000

Maximum front end DTI limit

= (Maximum Monthly loan payment + monthly property taxes + monthly homeowner's insurance) ÷ Monthly income

0.28 × $15,000 = Maximum Monthly loan payment + $140 + $70

Maximum Monthly loan payment = $4,200 - $140 - $70

= $3,990

and,

Maximum back end DTI limit =

0.36 × $15,000 = Maximum Monthly loan payment + $140 + $70 + $178

Maximum Monthly loan payment = $5,400 - $140 - $70 - $178

= $5,012

Now,

The monthly payment = minimum of [ $3990, $5012 ]

therefore,

The monthly payment = $3,990

Thus,

The maximum amount of loan = Monthly payment × $[\frac{(1-(1+\frac{r}{k})^{-kn})}{(\frac{r}{k})}]$

here,

k = 12 when compounded monthly

n = 30 years

r = 4.5% = 0.045

The maximum amount of loan = $3,990 × $[\frac{(1-(1+\frac{0.045}{12})^{-12\times30})}{(\frac{0.045}{12})}]$

The maximum amount of loan = $787,471.02

Describe the advantage of increased global trade and competition on the u.S. Economy

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The United States can specialise in producing goods and services which capitalise on its competitive advantages.

Explanation:

Increased global trade opens the United States (U.S) to international markets. This allows businesses in the U.S to scale their operations so as to meet world demand. In doing so, these businesses may experience lower costs per unit due to increasing production capacity. This growth in operations could lead to increased competition from foreign businesses seeking to enter or operating in the U.S economy. Owing to this, higher levels of innovation and efficiency at firm level would be instituted so as to offer competitive prices.

aksik [14]

Answer:

13 Home games

Explanation:

A season pass cost for home games =$175

Individual ticket per game =$14

For season pass to be less than total home game tickets

i.e $175 must be than ($14 X Homegames )

i.e 175 = 14XHG

HG= 175/14=12.5 Approx. 13 games

Total cost of 13 games is ($13X14)=$182. {$175 is less that $182}

Ardim must attend 13 games.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.57 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.20, $2.31, $2

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Growth rate (g) = n-1√(Latest dividend) - 1

Current dividend

= 4-1√($2.49/2.20) -1

= 3√(1.1318) -1

= 1.04 - 1

= 0.04 = 4%

Ke = Do(1 + g) + g

Ke = $2.57(1 + 0.04) + 0.04

Ke = 0.04 + 0.04

Ke = 0.08 = 8%

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the growth rate using the above formula. Then, the cost of equity will be calculated. Cost of equity is a function of current dividend paid subject to growth rate divided by current market price.
