The management of Ro Corporation is investigating automating a process. Old equipment, with a current salvage value of $21,000,

Answer: 18.8%

Explanation:

Simple rate of return on investment = Incremental net operating income / investment

Incremental net income = Operating savings - Annual cost

= 145,000 - 420,000/6 years

= $75,000

Net investment = Cost of new machine - salvage value of old

= 420,000 - 21,000

= $399,000

Return on investment = 75,000/399,000

= 18.8%

purchased goods for Rs 10000 and paid Rs 4000 in cash. The balance amount is paid through cheque after receiving discount Rs 500
Vsevolod [243]

purchased goods for Rs 10000 and paid Rs 4000 in cash. The balance amount is paid through cheque after receiving discount Rs 500.​

Total balance is 500

In economics, a good is anything that satisfies a person's needs and provides utility, such to a customer buying a satisfying product. Services that cannot be transferred and transferable products are two categories that are frequently distinguished. When a good is helpful to people but is in short supply compared to demand, it is said to be a "economic good" and requires human effort to attain.  Free things, on the other hand, like air, are always available and don't require any deliberate effort to obtain. Private goods include anything a person owns or uses on a regular basis that is unrelated to food, such as televisions, living room furnishings, wallets, cell phones, etc.

A consumer good, often known as a "ultimate good,"

Imagine you are making a $1000 purchase with different payment options. Which of the following
Tomtit [17]

The payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>B. B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments,</u> as it pays back a total of $1,008.33, for borrowing $1,000.

<h3>How to calculate payment options:</h3>

Payment options can be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

The option that pays the least total cost should be chosen.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Loan payment = $1,000

A. 8% APR, no payments for the first 6 months, then 6 monthly payments:

Amount after 6 months = $1,040 ($1,000 + $1,000 x 0.08 x 1/2)

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PV (Present Value) = $1,040

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $174.49

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,046.93 ($174.49 x 6)

Total Interest =$46.93 ($40 + $6.93)

B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 10%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $84.03

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,008.33

Total Interest = $8.33

C. 12% APR, with 6 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 12%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $168.33

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,010.00

Total Interest $10.00

Thus, the payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>Option B</u>.

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000. Giselle earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<u>Giselle should purchase points</u> to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.

Explanation:

163000 x20% = 32,600

163,000 - 32,600 = 130,040

current mortgage cuota:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C \times \frac{1-(1+0.0625/12)^{-30*12} }{0.0625/12} = 130,040\\

C= 800.68

800.68/ 2,986 = 0.2681 = 26.81%

this cuota exeeds the desired amount Giselle wants.

her couta can be as much as 2,986 x 25% = 746.5

<u>Giselle should purchase points</u> to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.
