Suppose you could quantify the amount of satisfaction you receive from consuming ice cream in money terms. You might say, "I exp

galben [10]

Answer:

No, since the marginal cost of consuming the ice cream cone is greater than the marginal benefit.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the benefit that a consumer derives from consuming an extra unit of a product. To maximise satisfaction consumers tend to go for products that will give them high satisfaction at a low cost.

In the given scenario the cost of a unit of ice cream cone is $3.05, and the satisfaction or benefit is $3. The cost is higher than satisfaction gained. A consumer will not buy the ice cream under these conditions. They will rather look for an alternative that will give high satisfaction at low cost.

True or False: Stress is always present.

DIA [1.3K]

I would say false. Stress isn't always 100% there, but I'll not sugarcoat it: There is a LOT of stress when it comes to running a business, especially a small one. I would know, because my mother runs one, and she is almost constantly stressed out. Let it be deadlines, or taxes, or her employee didn't come in that morning, there is much stress. But again- it's NOT always there. It's extremely rare, but sometimes you are actually stress free.

I hope this helped! Please take the time to rate, pick the Brainliest answer (not necessarily mine!), and thank me if you feel I helped with this question! Thank you, it helps me a lot. :)

St. Thomas Company is planning to issue $1,000 par value bonds. The bonds will have a coupon rate of 9.5 percent and will be sol

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the firm's cost of debt financing = 6.682 %

Explanation:

Given that:

St. Thomas Company is planning to issue $1,000 par value bonds.

Bond coupon rate = 9.5

which will be sold at $980

Floating cost = 1 - 4 % of the market value

The bonds will mature in 15 years and coupon payments will be semi-annual .i.e Period = 15 × 2

Marginal tax rate = 35%

The objective is to determine the firm's cost of debt financing

From the information given ; we can use the EXCEL Spreadsheet to compute the value for the cost of debt then after that we will be able to find the firm's cost of debt financing.

The following data will be inserted into the Excel function (=RATE(15*2;0.095/2 *1000;-980*(1-4%);1000) )

Future value Fv= 1000

Payment Pmt =0.095/2 *1000

number of period Nper= 15 × 2

Present value Pv= -980 × (1 - 4%)

Output = 0.051413309 $\approx$ 5.14%

The Screenshot of the Excel Computation is also shown in the attached file below.

Pre tax cost of debt = 2 × cost of debt

Pre tax cost of debt = 2 × 5.14% = 10.28%

FInally ;

the firm's cost of debt financing = Pre-tax cost of debt × (1 - Tax rate)

where the marginal tax rate = 35%

the firm's cost of debt financing = 10.28% × (1 - 35%)

the firm's cost of debt financing = 0.1028 ×( 1 - 0.35)

the firm's cost of debt financing = 0.1028 × 0.65

the firm's cost of debt financing =0.06682

the firm's cost of debt financing = 6.682 %

You want to buy a house that costs $240,000. You will make a down payment equal to 20 percent of the price of the house and fina

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $1,067.38

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

House cost = $240,000

Down payment = 20% × $240,000 = $48,000

Amount of loan (p) = $240,000 - $48,000 = $192,000

Time period ( compounded monthly) (t) = 30 years × 12 = 360 months

Rate of interest = 5.31% = 0.0531

Rate of interest Monthly (r) = 0.0531 ÷ 12 = 0.004425

In this question, we use the PMT formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the monthly payment is $1,067.38
