Answer:

Company D

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Times interest earned ratio = Net Income + interest expense + income tax ÷ Interest expense

For company a:

Times interest earned ratio = $119000+ $44000 + $35000 ÷ $44000

= $198000 / $44000

= 4.5 times

For company b:

Times interest earned ratio is

= $135000+ $16000 + $25000 ÷ $16000

= $176000 / $16000

= 11 times

For company c:

Times interest earned ratio = $138000+ $12000 + $30000 ÷ $12000

= $180000 ÷ $12000

= 15 times

For company d:

Times interest earned ratio = $314000+ $14000 + $50000 ÷ $14000

= $378000 / $14000

= 27 times

As it can be seen that the times interest ratio is higher in company d so it has the strongest ability to pay the interest expense

Answer:

Productivity= 4.147

Explanation:

Productivity measures the efficient use of resources, capital, land, materials, energy, or information in the production of products and services. A highly productive process achieves more with a given level of resources.

We are to calculate productivity as a.ratio of sales revenue to labour expense.

Sales revenue= units sold* unit price

Sales revenue= 1,236* 1,719

Sales revenue= $2,124,684

Labour expense= total hours* hourly rate

Labour Expense= 46,574*11

Labour Expense= $512,314

So Productivity= Sales revenue/ Labour expense

Productivity= 2,124,684/ 512,314

Productivity= 4.147

You just took out a $12,000 loan for your small business. the loan has a four year term and repayment is in the form of four eq

umka2103 [35]

Answer: $403.20

Explanation:

We use a mortgage calculator to calculate the interest paid in the final payment. Since each repayment is made at the end of year, the repayments are annual payments. So, the calculator should have an annual amortization schedule to solve the problem.

I used http://www.calculator.net/loan-calculator for the calculation because it has an annual payment schedule. Then, I went under the subtitle Paying Back a Fixed Amount Periodically because the payments are equal. In that online calculator, I just input these data:

- Loan Amount: $12,000
- Loan Term: 4 (Loan term is number of years to pay the loan)
- Interest Rate: 11.5%
- Compound: Annually (APY)
- Pay Back: Every year

Then, I clicked the calculate button and view amortization table. The annual amortization schedule is attached in this answer.

To determine the interest paid at the final payment, I looked at payment #4 because the final payment is at the 4th year. (The loan is paid in 4 annual payments).

As seen in the attached image, the interest paid in payment #4 is $403.20. Hence, the interest paid in the final payment is $403.20.

What is the best way to trade market volatility?

Luda [366]

Answer:

Two ways: using VIX futures and traded notes or S&P 500 options and neutral investment strategies.

Explanation:

Volatility is a market's tendency to rise or fall sharply within short periods of time. It is usually measured using standard deviation or return on investment. There are several ways to handle market volatility. One is to use exchange-traded instruments, such as VIX future contracts and exchange traded notes. VIX provides real time estimations of greed and fear levels, as well as volatility expectations in the next 30 sessions. The other way is to use S&P 500 options and delta-neural strategies.
