Answer:
$1,247.12
Explanation:
For computing the asked price we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 4.151% ÷ 2 = 2.076%
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The 20 years come from May 2019 to May 2036
PMT = $1,000 × 6.193% ÷ 2 = $30.965
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value or the ask price is $1,247.12
Answer:
What will Sam have to pay for this equipment if the loan calls for semiannual payments (2 per year)
and monthly payments (12 per year)?
Compare the annual cash outflows of the two payments.
- total semiannual payments per year = $2,820.62 x 2 = $5,641.24
- total monthly payments per year = $531.13 x 12 = $6,373.56
Why does the monthly payment plan have less total cash outflow each year?
- The monthly payment has a higher total cash outflow ($6,373.56 higher than $5,641.24), it is not lower. Since the compounding period is shorter, more interest is charged.
What will Sam have to pay for this equipment if the loan calls for semiannual payments (2 per year)?
- $2,820.62 x 12 payments = $33,847.44 ($25,000 principal and $8,847.44 interests)
Explanation:
cabinet cost $25,000
interest rate 10%
we can use the present value of an annuity formula to determine the monthly payment:
present value = $25,000
PV annuity factor (5%, 12 periods) = 8.86325
payment = PV / annuity factor = $25,000 / 8.8633 = $2,820.62
present value = $25,000
PV annuity factor (0.8333%, 60 periods) = 47.06973
payment = PV / annuity factor = $25,000 / 47.06973 = $531.13
Answer:
A. slopes upward for normal goods and downward for inferior goods.
Explanation:
In the case of Engle curve it plots the relationship between income and demand for a good.
In the case of the normal goods, as the income rises the demand also rises while on the other hand in the case of inferior goods, the income rises the demand false
So it sloped upward for the normal goods and slop downwards for the inferior goods
Answer:
Firstly i will discuss General electric philosophy. So, what happens is sometimes when you don't put pressure on managers then they become lethargic and slow. For this matter they needs reminder to stay on tip of their game. But at the same time its demotivating too.
Secondly, in Valero energy they believe in psychological safety, to make their employees feel secure and safe. It has great impact on employee performance.
Actually, company's performance is not measured by profit and loss alone. It also measures by other factors like employee safety, employee motivation, impact of policies on employees and bringing positive addition to the life of employee.
General electric is high performing company in terms of profit and revenue. They follow negative reinforcement philosophy.
Both concepts eargs the employees to perform better. But one approach is better i.e to make them feel secure and make them believe that company cares for their career, future and well being. That actually motivates the employee. In return employees works wonders for that company.
In latest HR practices, many professionals are shifting from General electric philosophy to Valero energy philosophy. Because it increases productivity of employee by positive reinforcement. Which actually is better.
