Answer:

Compound interest is better than simple interest

Explanation:

Compound interest is better than simple interest especially when it comes to investing. Funds grow at a faster rate in compound interest than simple interest.

Simple interest is the interest on only the principal while compound interest is the interest on principal and on the previous accumulated interest (that is, interest on interest).

The formula for simple interest is:

P x r x t

Where P is the principal

r is the interest rate

t in the time.

For compound interest:

A=P(1+r/n)^nt.

A is the amount after compounding.

P is the principal.

r is the interest rate

n is the number of times interest compounds(adds up) per year

t is the number of years.

Lexis Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2012 for $35,500. The estimated useful life of the equipment was 7 years and the
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2015 is $2,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ useful life

= ($35,500 - $4,000) ÷ 7 years

= 4,500

The depreciation for three years would be

= 4,500 × 3 years

= $13,500

The remaining amount would be

= $35,500 - $13,500

= $22,000

So, the depreciation expense for 2015 would be

= ($22,000 - $4,000) ÷ 9 years

= 2,000

What was the major financial change between post ww2 borrowers and borrowers after 1970.
Mama L [17]

The major financial change between post ww2 borrowers and borrowers after 1970 was that there were plenty of jobs after World War 2 and the economy was growing at a large extent.

Most of the people believed that their income would not change even though there were plenty of jobs in the economy.

However they all have a constant income from the year 1945 to 1970.

So all the people continued  to borrow more and more money by not attending or joining any post war job in the economy.

Banks were also willing to lend more and more money as they were on the way of high earning through more lending but they get closed.

So after the war people continued to increase their loans and debt ratio in the economy of lending due to which it became the period of great depression.

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2  = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%

The interest rate a company pays on 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year loans is a function of:.
Firlakuza [10]

A company will pay interest based on its credit rating and the length of time over repayment is scheduled to occur (1-year, 5- years, or 10 years).

<h3>How is interest decided?</h3>
  • It is based on various risks such as credit risk and maturity risk.
  • Credit risk of a company is shown in its credit rating.
  • The maturity risk increases as the length of time to repayment increases.

The interest paid will therefore be dependent on the credit rating of the company and the term of the loan that it took out as these show different types of risk.

In conclusion, option A is correct.
