You want to buy a new car, but you can make an initial payment of only $1,200 and can afford monthly payments of at most $850. a

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. The maximum price you can pay for the car is $33,477.87.

b. The maximum price you can pay for the car is $39,411.78.

Explanation:

a. If the APR on auto loans is 12% and you finance the purchase over 48 months, what is the maximum price you can pay for the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be determined as follows:

Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments

To calculate, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^48) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 37.9739594934803

PV = $32,277.87

Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $32,277.87.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $32,277.87 = $33,477.87

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is $33,477.87.

b. How much can you afford if you finance the purchase over 60 months? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can also be determined as follows:

Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments

To calculate this, we use equation (1) in part (a) above, change number f months to 60 and proceed as follows:

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^60) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 44.9550384062241

PV = $38,211.78

Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $38,211.78.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $38,211.78 = $39,411.78

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is $39,411.78.

Fairchild Garden Supply expects $700 million of sales this year, and it forecasts a 15% increase for next year. The CFO uses thi

vazorg [7]

Answer:

D) 3.48

Explanation:

Current Year Sales = $700

Growth rate = 15%

Projected Sales=$700*15% +$700

Which is $805

Required inventory = $30.2 + 0.25*projected sales

Req.Inv = $30.2 + 0.25($805)

Req.Inv = $231.45

Inventory turn over = projected sales/Req.inv

$805/$231.45

Inventory turn over = 3.48 times

At May 1, 2020, Sheridan Company had beginning inventory consisting of 190 units with a unit cost of $7.30. During May, the comp

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$6.71 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of average cost method is given below:-

Beginning Inventory

= 190 units × $7.30

= $1,387

Purchases

= 720 units × $7.30

= $5,256

Purchases

= 590 units × $5.80

= 3,422

Total units = 1,500

Total cost = $10,065

So, average cost per unit

Total cost ÷ Total number of units

= $10,065 ÷ 1,500

= $6.71 per unit

Therefore, to calculate the average cost per unit for May we simply divide 10,065 from 1,500

Answer:

The answer is: Cultural environment

Explanation:

Cultural environment is the set of values, behaviors, attitudes, customs and aspirations of people.

They are continuously changing and evolving, for instance 100 years ago gays weren´t allowed to marry, in many places being gay was outlawed. All businesses should change their marketing strategies to reflect cultural changes. Imagine if the TV ads from the 1980s were still running today, many would be considered scandalous, misogynistic or sexist.
