ou want to buy a new sports coupe for $81,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an APR of 6.3 percent for

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment will be <u>$1,664.91</u>.

b. The effective annual rate on this loan is 6.49%.

Explanation:

a. What will your monthly payments be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This is calculated by using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

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

Where;

PV = Present value or price of new sports coupe = $81,500

P = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = Annual percentage rate (APR) = 6.3% / 12 = 0.063 / 12 = 0.00525

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P as follows:

85,500 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.00525))^60) / 0.00525)

85,500 = P * 51.3541976210894

P = 85,500 / 51.3541976210894

P = $1,664.91

Therefore, the monthly payment will be <u>$1,664.91</u>.

b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Effective annual rate (EAR) refers to the interest rate that is received by an investor in a year after adjusting for compounding.

Since the APR in the question is paid monthly, it implies that it is compounded monthly and the EAR can be computed using the following formula:

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

Where;

APR = 6.3% = 0.063

n = Number of compounding periods or months in a year = 12 months

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

EAR = ((1 + (0.063 / 12))^12) - 1

EAR = 1.06485133891298 - 1

EAR = 0.06485133891298

EAR = 6.485133891298%

EAR = 6.49% rounded to 2 decimal places

Therefore, the effective annual rate on this loan is 6.49%.

The amount of income under absorption costing will be more than the amount of income under variable costing when units manufactu

Sholpan [36]

Answer: A.exceed units sold

Explanation:

In Absorption Costing, All costs be it Fixed or Variable that are directly related to production are considered when computing the Cost of Production.

Under Variable Costs however, only variable Costs are considered for the computing of Cost of Production.

This difference in consideration of costs under each method leads to difference in income determination under each method.

Under Absorption Costing, fixed manufacturing costs are apportioned on produced units and the costs are only recovered when the units are sold but under variable costing, fixed manufacturing costs are treated as period costs and are therefore charged to the Income statement.

This means that, the amount of income under absorption costing will be more than the amount of income under variable costing when units manufactured exceed units sold.
