Answer:

Yes because a person with a lower income may tend to spend a greater share of his income on gasoline

Explanation:

For example, if a low income individual earning $1000 and a high-income person who earns $2000 each purchase 12 gallons of gasoline, the taxes on this purchase will consume a larger portion of the low-income person’s earnings than that of the high-income person. Assuming a tax rate of 5% of earnings multiplied by 12 Gallons.

Low income individual earnings after tax deductions= $400

High income individual earnings after tax deductions= $800

Consider a two-step mortgage for $150,000, 30 years, monthly payments, an initial interest rate of 5%, a cap of 5%, and a single
gladu [14]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

This 2-step mortgage problem requires a 2-step solution.

To solve for the PMT for the last 23 years of the loan, we first need to know what the principal is at the end of the 7th year.

Thus, step I uses the initial info to solve for the PMT for each month of the first 7 years. N=360, I/Y=5(%)/12 = 0.416667(%), PV=150,000, => PMT = 805.

The discount rate will change to 5% index rate plus 2% margin = 7% at the beginning of the 8th year.

In Step II we first determine the remaining balance at the end of year 7. This requires using the amortization worksheet.

On the TI BA II Plus, AMORT is the secondary function of PV.

Set P1, the periods at which the calculations begin, equal to 1. We cursor down to P2, which is the last period of the calculation, and set it equal to 84. Cursoring down once again, we see that BAL at month 84 = 131,917.52.  

Going back to the TVM row, we set PV remaining at the end of 23 years = 131,917.52. I/Y is calcluated as 5(%) index rate plus 2(%) margin =7%; dividing 7(%) by 12 = 0.583333(%).  N=360-84 = 276 months left.

Finally, we solve for PMT = 962.89.
