Answer:

41.49 approx 42 months

Explanation:

To calculate the number of months, we use the formula for loan

p = r(pv) / 1 - (1+r)-n

make n subject of the formula

p ( 1 - ( 1+r) ^-n) = r(pv)

p - p (1+r)^-n = r(pv)

p (1+r)^-n = p-r(pv)

(1+r)^-n = (p-r(pv)) / p

( 1+r)^n = p / (p-r(pv))

n In( 1+r) = In (p / (p-r(pv))

n = In ( p/ ( p - r(pv)) / In ( 1 +r)

n is the number of months, p is the payment per months

pv is the present value of 5000

substitute the values given into the equation

n = (In ( 150 / (150 - ( 0.129 / 12 × 5000)) / ( In ( 1 + ( 0.129 / 12) = 41.49 approx 42 months

Answer:

42 months

Explanation:

To calculate the number months, we use ordinary annuity formula since that payment is expected to be made at the end of each month. The ordinary annuity formula is as follows:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + r)]^n} ÷ r]  .............................. (1)

Where ,

PV = Present value of an annuity  payment = $5,000

P = monthly payment  = $150

r = interest rate  = 12.9% annually = 0.129 annually = (0.129 ÷ 12) monthly =  0.01075  monthly

n = number of months = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

5000 = 150 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.01075)]^n} ÷ 0.01075]  

5000 ÷ 150 = {1 - [1 ÷ (1.01075)]^n} ÷ 0.01075

33.33 × 0.01075 = 1 - [1 ÷ (1.01075)]^n

1 - 0.36 = [1 ÷ (1.01075)]^n

0.64 = 1^n ÷ (1.01075)^n

Since 1^n = 1, we have:

0.64 = 1 ÷ (1.01075)^n

Rearranging, we have:

(1.01075)^n = 1 ÷ 0.64

(1.01075)^n = 1.56

By converting the exponential function to a logarithm function, we have:

n = log_{1.01075}1.56

n = log_{1.01075}1.56

n = 41.59  approximately 42 months.

Therefore, it will take Calvin Johnson 42 months to pay off his credit card.

Margin of safety in units = Budgeted sales in units - Break-even sales in units

= 4,300 units - 3,000 units

= 1,300 units

The computation in dollars of safety is given below :-

Margin of safety  in dollars = Margin of safety in units × Selling per unit

= 1,300 × $1.50

= $1,950

b. Investment increases as people will have more money to invest due to having spent less on consumption.

c. Net exports increases as exports become cheaper due to lower prices in the country. More people outside will therefore demand exports leading to them increasing more than imports.

d. Money Demand - B. There is a movement along the Money Demand curve to the Left

As price has decreased, the amount of money needed to buy goods will decrease which would lead to less demand for money. Money demand curve will show this as a movement to the left of the Money demand curve.
