Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.

If you expect the euro to depreciate, it would be appropriate to ____ for speculative purposes. Question 7 options: sell a euro
Hoochie [10]

If you expect the euro to depreciate, it would be appropriate to sell a euro call and buy a euro put for speculative purposes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The depreciation of any currency can occur due to some of the following reasons such as a difference in interest rates, economy, instability politically, etc. When the inflation rate of any country increases this will also cause currencies to depreciate.

In the European option, there are two terms Euro call and  Euro put. Euro call helps the investor to buy an asset and the Euro puts helps the investor to sell an asset. When you anticipate that the euro may depreciate, it would be appreciable to sell a euro call and buy a euro put for speculative purposes.

On January 1, year 1, Ziegler issued 5-year bonds with a stated rate of 8% and a face amount of $100,000. The bonds pay interest
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$92,278

Explanation:

Annual coupon = $100,000 × 8% = $8,000

Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r)

Where;

r = semi-annul interest rate = 10%/2 = 5%, 0.05

n = number of period = 5 × 2 = 10 semi-annuals

Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1.05))^10)/0.05) = 7.72173492918482

PV of coupon = $8,000 × 7.72173492918482 × 0.5 = $30,886.94

PV of the face value of the bond = 100,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05)^10 = $61,391.33

Therefore, we have:

Price of bond = $30,886.94 + $61,391.33 = $92,278

What do you see as the major deficiencies current information systems budgeting and prioritization processes are run
monitta

Answer:  

The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:

  1. The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.
  2. The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.

Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.

If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.

Cheers!

Answer:

A...increase

B...be unchanged

C....increase

It should be understood that it is only the telephone lines that was increased and not the number of the customer representatives, and also the number of the time they were using to attend to each customer was not reduced. So in this case, the number of customers that will be experience delay will definitely increase, why the time spent on phone by the customer representatives will remained unchanged, and the customer representatives utilization will increase too.
