Answer:
57.07 months.
Joseph must decide whether the 57th payment was $1,327, or he can pay a 58th payment of just $92.
Explanation:
The easiest way to calculate a monthly payment is using a payment calculator:
- principal = 59,000
- n = 60
- APR = 7.6%
Monthly payments = $1,185.04
Since Joseph will pay an extra $50 each month, his payment = $1,235.04
By paying that extra amount Joseph will reduce his payments by almost 3 months to 57.07 months
After the 57th payment, Joseph' balance = $91.43, so he can decide to pay a little on the 57th payment or just pay $92 next month.
Answer:
$906.30
Explanation:
Face value (FV) = $1000
Coupon payment (C) = 7% of $1000 = $70
Yield to maturity (r) = 8% = 0.08
t = 18
Number of compounding periods (n) = 1 (annually)
Using the relation:
C[( 1 - (1 + r/n)^-nt) / (r/n)] + FV / (1 + r/n)^nt
70[(1 - (1 + 0.08)^-1*18) / (0.08/1)] + 1000 / (1 + 0.08/1)^1*18
70[1 - (1.08)^-18) / 0.08] + 1000 / 1.08^18
70[(1 - 0.2502490)/0.08] + (1000 / 3.99601949918)
70(9.3718871) + 250.24902
= $906.281117
= $906.30
Answer: The correct answer is "B. A new resource".

the answer is b:) because high interest rates mean increased cost for all the others since it is not a fixed cost for them
