Answer:
Ans. The effective annual interest rate charged on the loan is 12.99% effective annually. (Please see the attached excel spread sheet)
Explanation:
Hi, attached is the amortization table that I made for this case. Notice that there is a yellow and green cell, the yellow one is the result of using the "IRR" function of MS Excel which provides an effective monthly rate, since the payments are made every month, then we have to transform that monthly effective rate into an effective annual rate, this is the formula to use.
That is:
Which we round to 12.99% effective annually.
Finally, notice that I didnt use the payments to find the effective rate, I used the cash flow, that was because you didn´t receive all the 100K (the fee, remember?), you received $98,000.
Best of luck.
Answer:
[a]. 10560, [b]. 14160, [c]. 7668.
Explanation:
[a]. In order to be able to solve this particular question we have to consider what is known as LINEAR PROGRAMMING.
We have the assumption that the function to be equals to 10A + 9B. The first step that we need to take here is to find the constraint for the linear programming relaxation which is;
1/2A + 5/6B 600.
1/10A + 1/4B 135. Thus, A
0 and B
With the help of excel solver and graphs, that we have the profit at $18 we are going have the value of A =300 and B =420. Therefore, the optimal solution = [300,420].
Thus, we have the objective function value to be = 10,560. [that is 10 * 300 + 420 * 18}.
[b]. For option b, where the profit increases to $20, the optimal solution lies on A =708 and B =0. Hence, objective function value = 14,160[ that is 20 * 708 + 0].
[c]. Here, there is increase in the sewing operation capacity to 750 hours. Therefore, we will have the value of A = 540 and B = 252.
Thus, the objective function value = 7668.
