First United Bank.= = 14.8%
Explanation:
<em>Effective annual rate is the equivalent annual rate o where interest rate is compounded at an interval shorter than a year.</em>
It can be calculated as follows:
EAR = ( (1+r)^(n) -1) × 100
r -interest rate per period
n- number of period
EAR - Effective annual rate
First National Bank
r - interest rate per month = 13.7%/12 = 1.141%
number of period = 12 months
EAR =( (1+011141)^(12) - 1) × 100
= 0.145938395 × 100
= 14.59
= 14.6%
First United Bank.
r- interest rate per quarter - 14%/4 = 3.5% per quarter
n- number of quarters = 4
EAR = ((1+0.035)^(4)- 1) × 100
= 0.147523001 × 100
= 14.8%
Answer:
consumer surplus will decrease.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between the price customers are willing to pay for a product and what they actually pay.
On the demand and supply curve it is indicated by the shaded area between equillibrum and demand curve as illustrated in the attached diagram.
For example let's assume the price a customer was willing to pay for a product was $50 and market price was $30
Initial consumer surplus= 50- 30= $20
Assume bmarket price increase to $40
The new consumer surplus is= 50- 40
Present consumer surplus= $10
So a price increase causes a decrease in the consumer surplus.
It is important so no one in the agreement screws the other person over
Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
a. Bad debt expense A/c Dr $13,931
To Allowance for doubtful debts $13,931
(Being bad debt expense is recorded)
It is computed below:
= $421,300 × 4% - $2,921
= $13,931
b. a. Bad debt expense A/c Dr $17,722
To Allowance for doubtful debts $17,722
(Being bad debt expense is recorded)
It is computed below:
= $421,300 × 4% + $870
= $17,722
