Answer:

Janet Foster

a. Janet could save $12.44 on the printer by borrowing $800 to take advantage of the cash discount.

b. On the computer, the difference in the final payment between choices 1 and 2 is $197.

It is advisable for Janet to choose the first option.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Printer:

List price of printer = $900

Trade discount =          100

Purchase cost =        $800

Cash discount terms = 2/10, n/30

Cash discount = $16 ($800 * 2%)

Interest on loan to purchase printer = $3.56 ($800 * 8% * 20/360)

Savings if loan is borrowed = $12.44 ($16 - $3.56)

Computer:

List price = $4,060

Trade discount = 25% or $1,015 ($4,060 * 25%)

Purchase cost = $3,045

Payment options:

1) = $160 * 17 months = $2,720

Balance on 18th month    325

Total payment =           $3,045

2) = Payment with 8% interest for 18 months equal payment = $180.08

From an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  18

I/Y (Interest per year)  8

PV (Present Value)   $3,045

FV (Future Value)  0

P/Y (# of periods per year)  12

C/Y (# of times interest compound per year)  12

PMT made at the end of each period

Results

PMT = $180.08

Sum of all periodic payments $3,241.48

Total Interest $196.48

Difference in final payment:

Choice 1 , total payment =    $3,045

Choice 2, total payment =    $3,242

Difference in final payment = $197

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$28,800

Explanation:

I will just assume that there are three equal annual principal payments of $480,000. If we use $550,000, the total principal would = $1,650,000.

accrued interests from September to December = principal x (9%/12) x 4 months

principal = $480,000 x 2 = $960,000

accrued interest payable  = $960,000 x 0.75% x 4 = $28,800

emmainna [20.7K]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The term IoT is an acronym for 'Internet of Things' which refers to a modern technology that allows certain physical objects or “things” as we may call it to connect to the internet.

While Big Data refers not just to large data, but to an innovative field of technology that specializes in analyzing very large (big) data sets.

Consider the education industry, by means of IoT, it is possible for school management to effectively track their student's academic progress in real-time.

IoT and Big Data connected in the sense that, as these physical things (objects) communicate over the internet, a mass amount of data ("Big Data") is been generated which could then be analyzed using specialized software. In other words, they are mutually beneficial.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$0.79

Explanation:

The Bakery bakes 660 loaves of bread

The cost of baking one bread= $0.46

The total cost of baking all loaves of bread

= $0.46 x 660

=$303.60

The desired mark up is 55% of cost

=55% of $303.60

=55/100 x $303.60

=0.55 x $303.60

= $166.98

Desired revenues = $166.98 +$303.60

=$470.58

The number of sellable breads= 660 - (10% of 660)

=660-66

=594

Desired income is $470.58; sellable output is 594.

price per bread should be

=$470.58/594

=$0.79222

Price per bread = $0.79
