The effective interest rate is calculated through the equation,
ieff = (1 + i/r)^r - 1
where ieff is the effective interest, i is the nominal interest, and r is the number of 15 weeks in a year. Every year, there are 52 weeks. Thus, there are 3.467 15-weeks approximately. Substituting this into the equation,
ieff = (1 + 0.04/3.467)^3.467 - 1
ieff = 0.04057
ieff = 4.057%

Leona [35]

Answer:

$88,000

Explanation:

We know that

The operating profit = Revenues - cost

= $2,600,000 - $2,100,000

= $500,000

If there is increase, so the operating profit would be

= Revenues - cost

where

Revenues = $2,600,000 + $260,000

= $2,860,000

Cost = $2,100,000 + $172,000

= $2,272,000

So, operating profit is

= $2,860,000 - $2,272,000

= $588,000

So, the increase in operating profit would be

= $588,000 - $500,000

= $88,000

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the income will be taxed at 25% the income tax liability will be for that amount

12,000 x 25% = 3,000

The accounting reason for this treatment is to match expenses with the time they occur or the revenues which generated.
