Answer:

C) Credit card companies want to increase profits by promoting slower repayment, and actual customer repayments will be anchored by the smaller payment options

Explanation:

It is always a bad idea to only pay the minimum monthly payment on a credit card debt, since the APR charged is much higher than other personal loans. If someone only makes the minimum payment and continues to purchase goods or pay services, their balance will continue to grow.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75

Answer:

The correct statement is; Limited liability is an advantage of the corporate form of organization to its owners (stockholders), but corporations have more trouble raising money in financial markets because of the complexity of this form of organization.

A limited company can either be private or public. A limited company posses these 2 key features namely;

1. Limited liability- the liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of their investment in the company.

2. Seperate legal existence- a limited company can in it's name sue, be sued and enter into contracts.

Limited liability means that the investors can only lose the money they have invested and no more, meaning lenders have to keep this in mind when issuing loans to limited companies.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

1. $132,800

2. $531,200

3. $1,071,200

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of sales at which the business incur no profit no loss.Fixed and variable costs are covered at this level of sales. Use following formula of break-even to calculate the fixed cost.

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

$487,200 = Fixed cost / 25%

Fixed Cost = $487,200 x 25% = $121,800

Revised Fixed cost = $121,800 + $11,000 = $132,800

New Break-even point = $132,800 / 25% = $531,200

Desired profit = $135,000

Desired revenue = ( Desired profit + Fixed cost ) /Contribution margin ratio = ( $135,000 + 132,800 ) / 25% = 267,800 / 25% = $1,071,200
