Answer:
7.28%
Explanation:
For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below:
Provided that
Present value = $1,075
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the coupon rate is
= 3.64% × 2
= 7.28%

Depreciation for
2017 = $2,540
2018 = $10,160
Explanation:
Provided, Total cost of the machine = $77,980

Answer:
d. 1.25
Explanation:
In a business context, the capacity utilization rate is a value that allows the company know how well they are performing compared to what the recorded optimal levels are. In order to calculate this value we simply divide the current operating level for a specific time-period by the optimal level of that same time period, which in this case would be 1 hour. Therefore, in this case we would divide 500 by 400 which would give us 1.25.
