Answer:
First Financial would divide the $10,500 loan by the present value of annuity due of 1.
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
Present value of annuity formula is used for determining the amount of loan payment. Since the payments will be made at the beginning of each month, we will apply the formula for present value of annuity due. In order to determine the amount of monthly payment, we will divide the principal by the present value of annuity due of 1.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": perform an activity at a lower opportunity cost.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the ability of an individual, company, or country to produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than its competitor. Having a comparative advantage does not mean that one entity is absolutely better than another at producing a good or service. It means that it sacrifices less to do so.
Answer: Required return = 15%
Explanation:
Current Price using the constant-growth DDM is;
Current Price = Expected dividend / ( Required return - growth rate)
This can therefore be used to calculate the required return.
Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
= 15% * ( 1 - payout ratio )
= 15% * (1 - 40%)
= 15% * 60%
= 9%
Expected dividend = Earnings per share * Payout ratio
= 3 * 40%
= $1.20
Using the formula;
Current Price = Expected dividend / ( Required return - growth rate)
20 = 1.20 / (Required return - 9%)
20 * (Required return - 9%) = 1.20
Required return - 9% = 1.20 / 20
Required return = (1.20 / 20) + 9%
Required return = 15%
Answer: is permitted if results are similar to the allowance method
Explanation:
The direct write-off method is refered to as an accounting method whereby the uncollectible accounts receivable are being written off as bad debt. Here, the bad debts expense account will be debited while the accounts receivable will be credited.
The direct write-off method is permitted if results are similar to the allowance method. For the allowance method, it should be noted that an estimation of the bad debt future amount will be charged to the reserve account once the sale takes place.
Answer:
1) variable cost = $1.56 per day
fixed costs = $1,395 per month
2) another aspect that increases or decreases electrical consumption is the weather. During very hot days, more people use the air conditioner, which increases electricity costs. Very cold weather will result in a similar increase in electric consumption.
Explanation:
Month Occupancy-Days Electrical Costs
January 1,736 $ 4,127
February 1,904 $ 4,207
March 2,356 $ 5,083
April 960 $ 2,857
May 360 $ 1,871
June 744 $ 2,696
July 2,108 $ 4,670
<u>August 2,406 $ 5,148 </u>
September 840 $ 2,691
<u>October 124 $ 1,588 </u>
November 720 $ 2,454
December 1,364 $ 3,529
variable cost = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($5,148 - $1,588) / (2,406 - 124) = $1.56 per day
fixed costs = $5,148 - ($1.56 x 2,406) = $1,395
