Imagine you are making a $1000 purchase with different payment options. Which of the following

1 answer:

4 0

The payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>B. B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments,</u> 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

<u>Results:</u>

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

<u>Results:</u>

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

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $168.33

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,010.00

Total Interest $10.00

Thus, the payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>Option B</u>.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Break-even point= 15,000/ (5 - 3)= 7,500 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of output can be sold for $5, variable costs are constant at $3 per unit, and if the fixed costs are $15,000.

We need to use the following formula:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 15,000/ (5 - 3)= 7,500 units

Nike becomes very unpopular. What happens to demand for Reebok?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A. The D-curve shifts to the right

Explanation:

Nike and Reebok are supplement goods. It means customers can use either of two brands of shoes with almost equal satisfaction. A change of preferences by customers will influence the demand for supplement goods.

If Nike becomes unpopular, the demand for Reebok will increase. Because the increase in demand is not due to price changes, the demand curve will shift to the right. A shift in the demand curve means that the quantity demanded increases at all prices.

The manufacturing cost of Calico Industries for three months of the year are provided below:

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a.$0.23 per unit and $48,773

Explanation:

The computation of the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs using the high-low method is shown below:

Variable cost per unit = (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (High production units - low production units)

= ($114,300 - $87,100) ÷ (284,900 units - 168,100)

= $27,200 ÷ 116,800 units

= $0.23 per unit

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High total cost - (High production units × Variable cost per unit)

= $114,300 - ( 284,900 units × $0.23)

= $114,300 - $65,527

= $48,773

Your selection committee is debating between two projects. Project A has a payback period of 18 months. Project B has a cost of

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Project A

Explanation:

Given:

The payback period for the project A = 18 months

Cost of project B = $125,000

Expected cash flow for the first year for the project B = $50,000

Cash flow per quarter after first year = $25,000

Now,

Remaining cost for project B after the first year payment

= $125,000 - $50,000

= $75,000

payback period for the project B after the first year

= $\frac{\textup{Remaining cost}}{\textup{cash flow per quarter}}$

= $\frac{\textup{75,000}}{\textup{25,000}}$

= 3 quarters = 9 months

therefore,

the total payback period for project B = 1 year + 9 months = 21 months

hence, Project A should be recommended as the payback period for project A is less i.e 18 months
