Answer:

 

Explanation:

From the given information;

Suppose the interest rate is constant. then at 10% three-year loan;

The total interest at 10% will be:

= $300000 × 10% × 3years

= $90000

Aso, 8% one year loan with rollover will be total interest at 8%:

= $300000 × 8% × 3 years

= $72000

Savings in interest of Sauer Food Company = $(90000 - 72000)

= $18000

Suppose short-term rates change, then for the first year, we will have:

= 300000 × 0.1

=  $30000

second year will be = 300000 × 0.13

=$39000

third year will be= 300000 × 0.18

=$54000

As such, the total rate of the variable loan = $30000 + $39000 + $54000

= $123000

However, the fixed rate at 10% three year loan is equal to = $90000

As such, the additional total interest cost  = $(123000 - 90000)

= $33000

Answer:

A, independence

Explanation:

Motivation can be defined as the stimulation of individuals to achieve a certain goal.

It can also be said to be the a force that drives the wants, needs, etc of an individual. Motivation have various influencing factors as well as several modes.

Factors that influences motivation include; valence, instrumentality, expectancy, etc.

Modes of motivation include; intrinsic, extrinsic, introjected and identified motivation.

From the above question, independence isn't a factor that influences motivation. This is because independence, according to the dictionary, can be said to be a state of freedom from something.

Freedom does not motivate a person to achieve anything as there will be no pressure or driving force or even an individual to encourage. This makes goals impossible to difficult to achieve.

Cheers.

Depreciation is a method of expensing the cost of an asset.

Depreciation expense using the straight line depreciation method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($700,000 - $20,000) / 5 = $136,000

The straight line depreciation method Deprecation allocates the same deprecation expense each year of the useful life of an asset.

Answer:

the  future value in two years is $110.25

Explanation:

The computation of the future value in two years is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 +  rate of interest)^number of years

= $100  × (1  + .05)^2

= $100 ×  (1.1025)

= $110.25

Hence, the  future value in two years is $110.25
