1 answer:

4 0

The payment option that pays the LEAST is B. B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments, as it pays back a total of $1,008.33, for borrowing $1,000.

<h3>How to calculate payment options:</h3>

Payment options can be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

The option that pays the least total cost should be chosen.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Loan payment = $1,000

A. 8% APR, no payments for the first 6 months, then 6 monthly payments:

Amount after 6 months = $1,040 ($1,000 + $1,000 x 0.08 x 1/2)

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PV (Present Value) = $1,040

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PMT = $174.49

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,046.93 ($174.49 x 6)

Total Interest =$46.93 ($40 + $6.93)

B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 10%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PMT = $84.03

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,008.33

Total Interest = $8.33

C. 12% APR, with 6 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 12%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PMT = $168.33

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,010.00

Total Interest $10.00

Thus, the payment option that pays the LEAST is Option B.

sveta [45]

Answer: A. Speech of delivery

Explanation:

When buying things like software, there are certain things that will determine the value apart from the monetary price. These include the ease of installation and the availability of training assistance.

With ease of installation, the fundamental question is if the software is easy or complicated to install. The easier it is the better. Also is there someone who can help the users be able to master the features of the software. This is availability of training assistance.

Now while speech of delivery can help in convincing Hayden to buy from a particular shop, it does not contribute to the value of the software.

You are planning your retirement in 10 years. You currently have $169,000 in a bond account and $609,000 in a stock account. You

Over [174]

Answer:

$187,584.20

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the total future value (FV) of the bond account and stock account after 10 year from now (when you come to retirement age):

FV_bond at retirement = 169,000 x (1 + 7.25%)^10 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^9 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^8 + … 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^0 = 426,230.93

FV_stock at retirement = 609,000 x (1 + 10.75%)^10 = 1,690,653.63

Total FV of your investment portfolio = 2,116,884.57

Because you plan to use up all the funds in your account after 21 equal amount withdrawals after retirement, total present value (at the time you retire not now) of these withdrawals (discounted at 6.5%) have to be equal to the value of your invesment 10 years from now, or:

2,116,884.57 = C/(1+6.5%) + C/(1+6.5%)^2 + … + C/(1+6.5%)^21, with C is the amount you plan to withdraw each year.

Solve the equation we get C = 187,584.20

Note: The equation can be solved easily using Excel or BAII Plus.
