Answer:

The total cost of the loan with simple interest $2269.8 is less than the loan with compound interest $2299.12.

Explanation:

Simple Interest (I) = Principal (Loan)×Time×Rate ÷ 100

Loan = $1800

Time = 3 years

Rate = 8.7%

I = 1800×3×8.7/100 = $469.8

Total cost of loan with simple Interest = loan + simple interest = $1800 + $469.8 = $2269.8

Compound interest = [Loan(1+r)^n] - Loan

Loan = $1800

r is annual interest rate = 8.5% = 0.085

n is duration of the loan = 3 years

Compound interest = [1800(1+0.085)^3] - 1800 = 2299.12 - 1800 = $499.12

Loan with compound interest = 1800 + 499.12 = $2299.12

Basically we multiplied the weightage of capital structure with its cost so that the weighted average cost of capital could come

Which of the scenarios are examples of free-riding?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

b. Bob listens to the radio station several hours per day but never donates since he suspects that other people will donate enough to keep the station on the air. 

. Jim is working on a group project for a class in which he wants a high grade. However, since the grades are assigned to the group as a whole and he knows that the other group members will pick up most of the extra work, Jim calls in sick and plays video games on his Dream Station 64. 

Explanation:

Free riding is when a person enjoys the benefit of a good or service but doesn't pay for it. This is a form of market failure.

Bob listens to the radio but doesn't donate and Jim would benefit from the grade given to the group but doesn't participate. These are instances of free riding.

Karl doesn't drive at night and so doesn't enjoy the benefits of the street light and doesn't pay. This is not an instance of free riding.

I hope my answer helps

The value of the ending inventory using the LIFO method of inventory pricing is $4,536.
