7 0

An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved. For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The effective annual rate of interest on the additional $25,000 borrowed on the first loan is 12.95%

Explanation:

the loan amount is $250,000 and the period is 20 years.

down payment of $50,000 and the interest rate is 6% per annum

the loan amount = $250,000 - $50,000

= $200,000

period = 20*12

= 240 months

rate = 5%/12

= 0.4167% per month

monthly payment = $1,319.91

difference between the payments in 1 and in 2 = 1611.97 - 1319.91

= $292.06

additional down payment is $25,000

down payment of $25,000 and the interest rate is 6% per annum

the loan amount = $250,000 - $25,000

= $225,000

period = 20*12

= 240 months

rate = 6%/12

= 0.5% per month

monthly payment = $1,611.97

difference between the payments in 1 and in 2 = 1611.97 - 1319.91

= $292.06

additional down payment is $25,000

the effective annual rate = [(292.06/25000)*12]*100

= 12.95%

Therefore, The effective annual rate of interest on the additional $25,000 borrowed on the first loan is 12.95%
