Answer:

the NPV of paying the points = $7,619.31

Explanation:

if the homeowner gets the loan at 6%, his/her monthly payment = $1,498.88

the present value of the 360 monthly payments at 6% is $250,000

if the homeowner gets the loan at 5.5%, his/her monthly payment = $1,419.47

in order to compare both loans, I will discount the 360 payments by 6%, instead of 5.5%:

PV = $1,419.47 x 166.79161 (PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 360 periods) = $236,755.69

the NPV of paying the points = -($250,000 x 2.25%) - $236,755.69 + $250,000 = $7,619.31

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> the buying power of the dollar would: decrease.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Purchasing power means the amount of goods that can be bought with the given unit of money. The value of the dollar decreases when there is an inflation. Inflation reduces money value by raising the prices of the goods and services in the country.

Purchasing power can be compared with the salaries received 50 years ago and current salaries. Though the current salaries have increased the prices of the goods have also increased accordingly. Which can also be termed as increased cost of living.

Darya [45]
The correct answer is side streets.
If you are in a hurry, it may be better to take a different route and drive through side streets in order to avoid the traffic which is usually present in the more 'popular streets.' However, side streets have a lot of traffic control lights, which may slow down your ride even more.
