Answer:

the costs that change depending on a company's performance

Explanation:

Variable costs refer to the costs that fluctuate with the level of production. An increase or decrease in the output level results in variable costs moving in the same direction. If the business stops production, the variable costs will be nil.

Raw materials and packaging costs are good examples of variable costs. The more a company produces, the more materials it consumes, and the higher the costs of purchasing the materials.

Answer:

The company's debt ratio at the end of the current year is 66%

Explanation:

For computing the debt ratio, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

Debt ratio = (Total liabilities) ÷ (total assets) × 100

= ($182,200 ÷ $276,000) × 100

= 66%

The other information which are given in the question is of no use. That's why we do not consider it. Hence, ignored it.

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

$PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )$

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(47.348867)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}$

$P=76.03$

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(28.1761088936)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}$

$P=411.69$

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

You can purchase an item you need for a project for $10,000 and it has daily operating costs of $500, or you can lease the item

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

Explanation:

Given that:

Daily operating costs of $500
Purchasing cost for the item: $10,000
Lease amount: $700

Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:

The total cost should be equal to the total lease received

<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x

<=> 200x = 10000

<=> x = 50

Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
