The bulk of evidence suggest that______

If the SEC and the AICPA, worked altogether in order to share the information, they might have detected the fraud prior. The case states that the Madoff Securities does not required to submit the peer review program to AICPA as Friehling, had recorded that he did not perform or conduct any audits.

Recommendation

1. The policy execution for the exchange of the information among the two firms would be useful to detect the fraud.

2. The PCAOB should spend more resources an attending the hotline of whistle blowing through executing the policies which need certain complaints to be addressed effectively.

3. The firms or company should have done more in order to verify the financial statements assertions, which surrounds the investments. The PCAOB need to execute the policy that require the companies (such as Madoff Securities) to correctly answer the inquiries of the auditor.

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.
