Answer:

a. EAR for First National Bank  = 12.35%

b. EAR for First United Bank = 12.25%

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

First National Bank charges 11.7 percent compounded monthly on its business loans. First United Bank charges 11.9 percent compounded semiannually.

Calculate the EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

The effective annual rate (EAR) can be calculated using the following formula:

EAR = ((1 + (i / n))^n) - 1 .............................(1)

Where;

i = Annual interest rate of the bank

n = Number of compounding periods in a year

Therefore, we have:

a. Calculation of the EAR for First National Bank

i = Annual interest rate of First National Bank  = 11.7%, or 0.117

n = Number of compounding periods in a year = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

EAR for First National Bank = ((1 + (0.117 / 12))^12) - 1

EAR for First National Bank = 1.12348257790079 - 1

EAR for First National Bank  = 0.12348257790079, or 12.348257790079%

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:

EAR for First National Bank  = 12.35%

b. Calculation of the EAR for First United Bank

i = Annual interest rate of First United Bank = 11.9%, or 0.119

n = Number of compounding periods in a year = 2

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

EAR for First United Bank = ((1 + (0.119 / 2))^2) - 1

EAR for First United Bank = 1.12254025 - 1

EAR for First United Bank = 0.12254025, or 12.254025%

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:

EAR for First United Bank = 12.25%

600,000 x 11% = 66,000 interest payable

the land is being used to settle the note along with the accrued interest at the time:

the accounting  of Transit developments record the land at cost: 325,000

as the market valuye is 450,000 so a gain for 125,000 will be recognize.

450,000 market value - 66,000 interest payable: 384,000 payment on the note principal

the entry will write-off the interest payable, decrease the note by that amount and recognize the land gain on disposal

The profit, P, in dollars for manufacturing n units of a certain product is given by the formula P = 3n2 - 90n - 720. (Assume th
sesenic [268]

Answer:

n=40

Explanation:

We want to know the value of n when P=480

P=3n^2-90n-720\\480=3n^2-90n-720\\3n^2-90n-720-480=0\\3n^2-90n-1200=0\\3(n^2-30n-400)=0\\n^2-30n-400=0

From here, we can find the factors of the quadratic equation, we need two numbers that multiplied give -400 and added -30. Since they are factors of 400, we can choose -20x20 or -40x10. When adding -20 and 20 the result is zero, but the sum of -40 and 10 is -30. Then:

n^2-30n-400=0\\(n-40)(n+10)=0\\

The solutions of the quadratic equation aren-40=0 and n+10=0:

n_1=40\\n_2=-10

Since n is a positive integer:

n=40

Under the mudarabah banking system, when an Islamic bank lends money to a business Multiple Choice it charges that business inte
Vikki [24]

Answer:

It takes a share in the profits that are derived from the investment.

Explanation:

The Mudarabah banking system is a financial concept that is structured on partnership, wherein one partner is the financier (rabbulma) while the other partner is responsible for the supply of labor and skills (mudarib) for the management of the capital invested in the business. Consequently, the factors of production in this system are, labor, capital and entrepreneurship.

The Mudarabah is of two types:

1. Restricted mudarabah: if the financier states a particular business for which the capital is to be invested in.

2. Unrestricted mudarabah: if the financier permits the fund manager or entrepreneur (mudarib) to invest the capital in any business of choice.

Under the mudarabah banking system, when an Islamic bank lends money to a business, it takes a share in the profits that are derived from the investment for a specific period of time.

Hence, it's a banking system peculiar to the Islamic world and the contractual partners shares profit and loss based on a pre-defined and agreed ratio.
