Answer:
Explanation:
Let x be the amount loaned at 7% and ($19,000 - x) be the amount loaned at 15%
Given:
Interest incurred at 7%, I1 + Interest incurred at 15%, I2 = $2000
Interest, I = amount × rate
I1 = 7/100 × x
I2 = 15/100 × ($19,000 - x)
From the above expressions,
(0.07)x + (0.15) × ($19,000 - x) = $2,000
Solving for x,
0.07x + 2850 - 0.15x = 2000
Collecting like terms,
0.08x = 850
x = $10625
The amount loaned at 7% interest is
$10625
The amount loaned at 15% interest is ($19000 - $10625)
= $8375
Answer: describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo.
b. include an apology at the end of the memo stating the inconveniences that could be caused due to the new policy.
c. present the rationale for the new policies at the memo's beginning.
d. highlight controversial issues, which could arise after the new policies have been implemented, in the memo.
From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.
Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.
Answer: C. Less than Market Interest rate
Explanation: When the interest rate on a bonds issued by an organization is lesser than the prevailing interest rate being offered in the market at a certain time on Bank deposits, loans or other interest bearing funds, organization tends to issue discounts on bonds in scenarios like this and as such bonds are being issued or traded at prices lower or below it's face value in other to encourage investors and bridge the interest gap between the bond rate and the market rate.
a.
WACC is calculated as –
WACC = (Weight of common stock X Cost of common stock) + (Weight of preferred stock X Cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt X After tax cost of debt)
WACC = (64% X 13.4%) + (9% X 6.4%) + (27% X ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
WACC = 10.46%
b. After tax cost of debt is calculated as –
After tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) X cost of debt pre-tax
After tax cost of debt = ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
After tax cost of debt = 4.86%
Answer:
A) decrease MPC, increase MPS, and decrease the multiplier so that changes in planned investment will have a smaller impact on equilibrium output.
Explanation:
When you receive money, e.g. get paid by your employer, the first thing you do is pay for your basic necessities which are classified as autonomous spending. Then hopefully you will have some money left which is classified as disposable income. You can do two things with your disposable income, either spend it or save it.
The proportion that you spend is called the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and the remaining part that you save is called the marginal propensity to save (MPS). If the MPS was 1% in 2007 and increased to 5% in 2009, then the MPC was 0.99 in 2007 and 0.95 in 2009.
The formula to calculate the economic multiplier is 1 / MPS:
- the economic multiplier in 2007 = 1 / 1% = 100
- the economic multiplier in 2009 = 1 / 5% = 20
