Rahul needs a loan and is speaking to several lending agencies about the interest rates they would charge and the terms they off
er. He particularly likes his local bank because he is being offered a nominal rate of 10%. But the bank is compounding bimonthly (every two months). What is the effective interest rate that Rahul would pay for the loan?
a. 10.603% b. 10.426% c. 10.609% d. 10.285%
a. 10.603% b. 10.426% c. 10.609% d. 10.285%
1 answer:
Answer:
b. 10.426%
Explanation:
Using the attached formula, convert the nominal rate to effective annual rate
<em>m</em> in the formula is the number of compounding periods per year; 12/2 = 6 in this case.
APR is the nominal rate which is 10%.
Next, plug in the numbers to the formula as shown below;
EAR =
EAR = 1.10426-1
EAR = 0.10426 or 10.426% as a percentage
Hence choice B is correct.

Answer:
The correct answer is 4.33%(approx)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:\
Face value = $1,000
Market price = $1,278.41
Coupon Rate = 11%
So Coupon Payment = $110
Years to maturity = 10 years
So, we can calculate the after tax cost of debt by using following method:
After Tax Cost of Debt = YTM × ( 1 - Rate of Tax)
Where, YTM =
So, by putting the following value, we get
YTM = 0.0721
So by putting the value in formula, we get
After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.0721 × ( 1 - 0.4)
= 4.33% (approx)
Answer:
1. a. Only major materials and components.
Only the major materials and components are include as direct materials because these are the materials that directly needed for production.
b. Only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers).
The direct labor has to be those people who are directly involved in production which in this case is the assembly workers. Managers and Supervisors are not integral so are not direct labor.
c. Both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease).
All other items involved in production should be included as manufacturing overheads including big items and small items that cannot be traced.
2.
Rent for the factory building ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH).</u>
Cost of engines used in production ⇒ <u>Direct materials (DM).</u>
Depreciation on production equipment ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Cost of lubricant used in production. ⇒<u> Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Production supervisor's salary. ⇒ <u>Manufacturing Overhead (OH). </u>
Assembly workers' wages. ⇒ <u>Direct Labor.</u>
