Answer: False
Explanation:
The process of Amortization spreads out a loan into a series of fixed payments over time.
The borrower essentially pays the both the loan's interest and it's principal in varying amounts per month but the total payment is the same.
During the beginning of the loan repayment schedule, interest costs are known to be highest and only a small portion of the balance/principal is paid.
The statement is therefore FALSE.

Answer:
Option "4" is the correct answer to the following situation.
Intermediate-term cost receives a weighting of 12%.
Explanation:
<u>GIVEN:</u>
Total cost receives weighting = 40%
- short term cost weighting = 50% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 50% of 40% = 20%
- intermediate term cost weighting
= 30% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 30% of 40% = 12%
= 20% of (Total cost receives weighting)
= 20% of 40% = 8%
Therefore option "4" is the correct answer to the above situation.

Answer:
d. 5.14%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt.
First step
Based on the information given we would make use of rate formula in excel.
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
Where,
nper= coupon every six months for 20 years = 40 coupon payments
Pmt =$1000*7.25%*6/12=$36.25
Pv = $875
Fv =$1000
Let plug in the formula
=rate(40,36.25,-875,1000)=4.28% semiannually
=4.28% *2=8.56% annually
Now let calculate the after tax cost of debt using this formula
After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-t)
Where,
t represent tax rate of 40%
Let plug in the formula
After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-0.4)
After tax cost of debt=5.14%
Therefore the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt is 5.14%
Answer:
C. Shut down the presses printing my book
Explanation:
Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.
In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.
