The statement, 'lower interest rates are part of tight money policy' is false.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tight monetary policy which is also known as contractionary monetary policy is undertaken by Federal Reserve to reduce the economic growth that is overheated and to curb fast increasing inflation rate. Here the policy increases the interest rates thereby reducing the borrowing in the economy.

So, the true statement would be 'lowering the interest rates stimulates the borrowing in the economy and it is a part of the expansionary or loose monetary policy'.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Total cost per unit is $77

Explanation:

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Number of units

= $478,800 ÷ 34,200 = $14 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expenses per unit = Total Fixed selling and administrative expenses ÷ Number of units

= $171,000 ÷ 34,200 = $5 per unit.

Total cost per unit = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expenses + Fixed selling expenses

Total cost per unit = $15 + $5 + $11 + $14 + $5 + $5 = $55 per unit.

Markup = 40% of total cost = $55 × 40% = $22

Therefore, total selling price per unit = Cost per unit + Markup

= $55 + $22 = $77 per unit.

Home loans typically involve "points," which are fees charged by the lender. Each point charged means that the borrower must pay

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Ans. The effective annual interest rate charged on the loan is 12.99% effective annually. (Please see the attached excel spread sheet)

Explanation:

Hi, attached is the amortization table that I made for this case. Notice that there is a yellow and green cell, the yellow one is the result of using the "IRR" function of MS Excel which provides an effective monthly rate, since the payments are made every month, then we have to transform that monthly effective rate into an effective annual rate, this is the formula to use.

$EffectiveAnnual=(1+EffectiveMonthly)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1$

That is:

$EffectiveAnnual=(1+0.012267477)^{\frac{1}{12} } -1=0.12986448$

Which we round to 12.99% effective annually.

Finally, notice that I didnt use the payments to find the effective rate, I used the cash flow, that was because you didn´t receive all the 100K (the fee, remember?), you received $98,000.

Best of luck.
