Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest. Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

You need to assume that the total expenses were equal to the cost of the supplies, i.e. there were not other expenses but the $1,500 for supplies to sell.

The total income or revenue was $3,700.

The percentage of the expenses to the revenue is:

$Percentage=\dfrac{expenses}{revenue}\times 100\\\\\\ Percentage=\dfrac{\$1,500}{\$3,700}\times 100=40.5\%\approx41\%$

Rainbow [258]

Answer: $88,700

Explanation:

Given that,

House value = $275,000

Mortgage = $195,000

Car value = $12,000

Car loans = $7,500

Investments = $3,000

Bank account = $2,700

Owes on a credit card = $1,500

Keisha’s net worth:

= House value - Mortgage + Car value - Car loans + Investments + Bank account - Owes on a credit card

= $275,000 - $195,000 + $12,000 - $7,500 + $3,000 + $2,700 - $1,500

= $88,700
