Answer:

If the new reforms bring increase confidence of the investors then the company will have to incur lower borrowing costs as the investor will be available and vice versa.

Explanation:

Suppose that previously our company's credit rating was overrated. Due to recent regulatory reforms, my company achieved a lower credit rating and hence the investor confidence in our company dropped significantly. Now the investor is not interested to invest in my company and to urge them to invest in the company, they will be offered higher interest. If the reforms are going to impact our credit rating adversely then the borrowing cost will increase and vice versa.

Furthermore, Core Principle 3 says that the decsion making of the investor is based on the information that is readily available to him. This means if the reforms increase the access of the borrower through improved credit rating then it will be favourable for the company in terms of lower borrowing costs. If the reforms decrease the access of the borrower through depreciating credit rating then it will adversely affect the company in terms of lower borrowing costs and lower investment access.

Pie Co. uses the installment sales method to recognize revenue. Customers pay the installment notes in 24 equal monthly amounts,
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C. The present value of the remaining monthly payments discounted at 12%.

Explanation:

To answer the question I have used following values to workout

Original Sales Value = 500,000

Interest rate  = 12%

Numbers of periods = 24

First I calculate the Equal annual installment payment by using following excel formula

=PMT(rate,nper,pv,[fv],[type])

Where

PMT = Equal Annual Payment

rate = Interst rate = 12%/12 = 1%

nper = Tota numbers of payment = 24 payments

pv = oroginal sales value = 500,000

FV = Value outstanding after 24 payments = 0

Type = The payment made at the start or end of the year ( 0 for the payment made at the end of the period and 1 for the payment made at the beginning of the period ) = 0

placing values in the formula

=PMT(1%,24,50,000,0,0)

= $23,536.74  

Now use these values to make the schedule which is attached with this answer.

After six Payment

Outstanding value = 385,961.72  

Original sales price = 500,000

Percentage of outstanding balance to original sales value = 385,961.72 / 500,000 = 0.77 = 77%

The reamining balance is above 75% of the original sales price.

Note:

A payment schedule is attached for reference

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

  1. S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
  2. $204,000

Explanation:

1. An extra $1,000 for every year that they are over the age of 21. If the person is A years of Age then the expression is 1,000 * (A - 21).

An additional $3,000 for each year worked as a qualified lawyer. If the person has E years experience. Expression = 3,000E.

The basic salary is 1.2 time the candidate current salary. If the person currently earns $N the expression is; 1.2N

Putting that all together;

S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)

2. Variables are; N = 150,000; E = 5 ; A = 30

S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)

= 1.2 * 150,000 + 3,000 * 5 + 1,000 * (30 - 21)

= $204,000

The price of bread goes up. What happens to DEMAND for butter?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

A. The demand curve shifts to the left

Explanation:

Bread and butter are compliment goods. They offer the consumer a high utility when consumed together. An increase in demand for bread will increase the demand for butter.  Changes in the price of bread will affect the demand for butter.

An increase in the price of bread leads to a decrease in demand. Reduction in bread demand means that butter consumption will decline as there will be less bread to apply butter. A decrease in demand will prompt the demand curve to shift inwards.
