Monthly payment = $1774.71
Effective annual rate = 7.02%
The equation for a loan payment is
P = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
where
P = Payment per period
PV = Present value
r = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
Since the 6.8% interest rate is APR, we need to divide by 12 to get the interest per month. So in the above equation r = 0.068/12 = 0.005666667, the number of periods is 48 and the Present Value is 74400. Let's plug in the numbers and calculate.
P = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
P = 0.00566666666666667(74400)/(1-(1+0.00566666666666667)^(-48))
P = 421.6/(1-(1.00566666666666667)^(-48))
P = 421.6/(1-0.762439412691304)
P = 421.6/0.237560587308696
P = 1774.70516
So the month payment rounded to 2 decimal places is $1774.71
The effective interest rate is
ER = (1 + r/12)^12 - 1
Let's plug in the numbers and calculate.
ER = (1 + 0.068/12)^12 - 1
ER = (1 + 0.00566666666666667)^12 - 1
ER = (1.00566666666666667)^12 - 1
ER = 1.07015988024972 - 1
ER = 0.07015988024972 = 7.015988024972%
So after rounding, the effective interest rate is 7.02%
Answer:
institutional
Explanation:
Institutional advertising refers to advertising that shows the benefits and ideals or an organization. It does not focus on any particular product or service, instead its main goal is to build a positive image of the organization within the community. Many times institutional advertising is done when the organization has suffered from a serious of events that have damaged its reputation and it needs to improve it.
Competitive advantages are conditions that allow a company or a country to produce a good or a service at equal value but at a lower price or in a more desirable fashion. If a firm is to maintain sustainable competitive advantage, it must control a set of exploitable resources that have four critical characteristics. These resources must be; valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable (tough to imitate) and also they should be non substitutable.
Answer: $9025 §1231 loss
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sumner sold equipment that it uses in its business for $30,800 and that the equipment was bought a few years ago for $79,600.00 and has claimed $39,775 of depreciation expense.
Assuming this is Sumner's only disposition for the year, the amount and type or character of Sumner's gain or loss goes thus:
The book value of the equipment will be:
= $79600 - $39775
= $39825
Since the equipment is sold for $30,800, the loss will be:
= $39825 - $30800
= $9025
It should be noted that there will be no depreciation recapture because the asset is sold for a loss.
