Answer:
53
Explanation:
The mean is the average. Calculating the mean given some data involves adding all the values and dividing by the total by the quantity.
In this case, the total will be 42 +56 +38 +41 + 86+56 =319
The mean will be 319 divided by 6
=319/6
=53
A company has the following aging schedule of its accounts receivable with the estimated percent uncollectible:______.
Age Group Amount Receivable Estimated Percent Uncollectible
Not yet due $ 175,000 4 %
0-60 days past due $ 40,000 10 %
61-120 days past due $ 10,000 30 %
More than 120 days past due $ 5,000 60 %
Assuming the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $3,000 (credit) before adjustment, which of the following would be recorded in the year-end adjusting entry?
Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectibles = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
Balance before adjustment is a credit of $3,000 so the adjustment for the year is;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Niger was $945 in 1960, and it actually declined to $570 by 2010. Niger's average annual growth rate during this period was -1.01%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 20,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $3,000,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for four years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $850,000 and that variable costs should be $450 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the four-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $280,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $600 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $300,000. You require a return of 18 percent and face a marginal tax rate of 38 percent on this project.
Required:
a. What is the estimated OCF for this project?
b. Suppose you believe that the accounting department’s initial cost and salvage value projections are accurate only to within ±15 percent; the marketing department’s price estimate is accurate only to within ±10 percent; and the engineering department’s net working capital estimate is accurate only to within ±5 percent. What is your worst-case and best-case scenario for this project?
Answer:
a) expected revenue = 20,000 tons x $600 = $12,000,000 per year
initial investment = $3,000,000 + $300,000 = $3,300,000
contribution margin per unit = $600 - $450 = $150
total contribution margin = $150 x 20,000 = $3,000,000
annual fixed costs = $850,000
depreciation expense per year = $750,000
tax rate = 38%
required return rate = 18%
after tax salvage value = $280,000 x (1 - 38%) = $173,600

NCF₂ = $1,618,000
NCF₃ = $1,618,000
NCF₄ = $1,618,000 + $300,000 + $173,600 = $2,091,600
NPV = $1,296,797.61
IRR = 36.36%
b) our best case scenario:
expected revenue = 20,000 tons x $660 = $13,200,000 per year
initial investment = $2,550,000 + $285,000 = $2,835,000
contribution margin per unit = $660 - $450 = $210
total contribution margin = $210 x 20,000 = $4,200,000
annual fixed costs = $850,000
depreciation expense per year = $637,500

Other places that income tax expenses may occur include all of the following except: Select one: a. Extraordinary Items b. Other Comprehensive Income c. Common Stock d. Discontinued Operations
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Firms may not include all income taxes for a period on the line for income tax expense in the income statement. Other places that income tax expenses may occur include all of the following except Common Stock. Common stock is a form of corporate equity ownership, a type of security. Common stock is reported in the stockholder's equity section of a company's balance sheet.
Darby Company, operating at full capacity, sold 500,000 units at a price of $94 per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows:

1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____
Total fixed costs $_____
2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____
Unit contribution margin $_____
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
a. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
c. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
Answer:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs = $17,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $1,500,000 = $22,000,000 Total fixed costs = $10,000,0002. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost = $22,000,000 / 500,000 = $44 Unit contribution margin = $94 - $44 = $503. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
break even point = $10,000,000 / $50 = 200,000 units4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
break even point = $11,800,000 / $50 = 236,000 units5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
units = ($11,800,000 + $15,000,000) / $50 = 536,000 units6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
total units sold 500,000 + 40,000 = 540,000total contribution margin = 540,000 x $50 = $27,000,000operating income = $27,000,000 - $11,800,000 = $15,200,0007. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
operating income = (500,000 x $50) - $11,800,000 = $13,200,000represents a decrease of $15,000,000 - $13,200,000 = $1,800,0008. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.Connors Corporation acquired manufacturing equipment for use in its assembly line.

Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This system of performance review is a 360-degree review or feedback process where a given employee receives inputs on her performance (or other criteria such as behaviors, competencies and results achieved) from different employees with varying working relationships and at different levels. The idea is to ensure that the employee's performance is not partial or biased. Using this system, the employee who may be a manager will have her performance reviewed by employees below, above, and on the same level with her.

Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.
If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?
Answer:
4 hours
Explanation:
For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.
Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hourA total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.
Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
Given data
Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours
Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can workOut of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore
Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,
In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.
Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48
Total amount she will earn = $203
Therefore, Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.

All 12 members of the board are up for reelection. Mr. Clark is a dissident stockholder. He controls proxies for 42,001 shares. Ms. Ramsey and her friends on the board control 52,001 shares. Other stockholders, whose loyalties are unknown, will be voting the remaining 24,998 shares. The company uses cumulative voting.
Required:
a. How many directors can Mr. Clark be sure of electing?
b. How many can Ms Rmasey be sure of electing
c. How many votes could clark have if he had all the uncommitted votes
d. Does that give him control?
e. If nine directors were to be elected, and Ms. Ramsey and her friends had 70,001 shares and Mr. Clark had 48,001 shares plus half the uncommitted votes, how many directors could Mr. Clark elect?
Answer:
Midland Petroleum
a. Mr. Clark can be sure of electing = 4 directors
b. Ms Ramsey can be sure of electing = 5 directors
c. If Mr. Clark had all the uncommitted votes, he can elect = 7 directors
d. With 7 directors, he has control.
e. Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
Explanation:
Board members = 12
Mr. Clark control = 42,001 shares or 35.295%
Ms. Ramsey control = 52,001 shares or 43.698%
Undecided shareholders = 24,998 shares or 21.01%
Total shareholding = 119,000 shares or 100%
Mr. Clark can elect = 35.295% of directors = 4
Ms. Ramsey can elect = 43.698% of directors = 5
Other shareholders can elect = 21.01% of directors = 3
New shareholding:
Ms. Ramsey and friends = 70,001 shares
Mr. Clark and half uncommitted votes = 60,500 (48,001 + 12,499)
Half of the other uncommitted votes = 12,499
Total votes = 143,000
Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
The price of oil in international markets has dropped stunningly 60% in the past twelve months. Among the factors mentioned behind this drastic fall is the millions of barrels of oil produced in the US called shale oil and analyze:
a. The market struc ture for oil industry.
b. The supply and demand for oil in that market structure.
c. The pricing of oil at the presence of OPEC and the role of Speculators.
d. Why shale oil is a substitute for oil and explain the news in regard to the Cross elasticity of demand.
Answer:
a. The market structure for oil industry.
The market structure is monopolistic competition: there are many competitors, that hold some market power, but not as much as in oligopoly. The good that is offered is not as homogenous as in agricultural markets, and this is the reason why it is not a perfect-competition structure either.
b. The supply and demand for oil in that market structure.
Supply and demand is determined more or less freely in the market. Producers hold some market power so they charge a price that is a bit higher than the marginal cost, which would be the price in a perfect competition structure.
Consumers also have power in the demand curve because they have a fair number of options.
c. The pricing of oil at the presence of OPEC and the role of Speculators.
The OPEC forms an oligopoly, however, not all countries that produce oil are members of the OPEC, and this is why the market structure as a whole is not an oligopoly, but monopolistic competition.
Speculators can drive prices, but their influence is marginal in comparison to consumers as a whole.
d. Why shale oil is a substitute for oil and explain the news in regard to the Cross elasticity of demand.
Shale oil is a substitute because it offers the same service: providing energy, and serving as a chemical component of many products.
As for the cross elasticity of demand, this means that when the price of oil increases, the demand for shale oil increases, because people flock to the substitute.

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.
In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.

In 1998, the Russian government defaulted on its bonds. According to the open-economy macroeconomic model, this should have
Answer:
An increase in the net export and Russian interest rate.
Explanation: An open economy is an economy where all players which includes traders, investors and other stakeholders in the economy both within and outside the economy freely conduct their businesses and are controlled by market forces with minimal interference by Government agencies.
According to the open-economy macroeconomic model with the defaulting by the Russian government in 1998 will definitely lead to an increase in net export and an increase in Russian Interest rate.
Banana Computer Company sells Banana Computers both in the domestic and foreign markets. Because of the differences in the power supplies, a Banana computer purchased in one market cannot be used in the other market. This means that the company can use third degree price discrimination in order to maximize profits. Let’s suppose that it costs $1,000 to produce each computer (this is marginal and average cost). Let’s suppose further that the domestic and foreign demand curves are given as follows (the subscript "F" denotes "foreign" while the subscript "D" is used to denote "domestic"):
PD=13,000 -20QD
PF= 17,000-40QF
Required:
a. What prices maximize profits for this firm? How many computers do they sell in each market? How much profit does the company earn?
b. Now, suppose that somebody figured out a wiring trick that allows a Banana computer built for either market to be costlessly converted so that it works in the other market. This destroys the company's ability to practice third degree price discrimination and forces them to charge the same price in both markets. What price maximizes the company's profits now? How many computers will they sell in each location? How much profit does the company earn?
Answer:
with price discrimination
Domestic Price 7,000 Quantity 300
Profit (7,000 - 1,000) * 300 = 1,800,000
Foreing Price 9,000 Quantity 200
Profit (9,000 - 1,000) * 200 = 1,600,000
Total 1,600,000 + 1,800,000 = 3,400,000
no price discrimination:
Price 7,667 Quantity 500
Profit (7,667 - 1,000) x 500 = 3,333,500
Explanation:
Sales Revenue (Domestic)
[tex]R = P \times Q_d = (13,000 - 20Q_d) \times Q_d = -20Q_d^2 + 13,000Q_d\\R' = \frac{dR_{(q)}}{dq} = 13,000 - 40Q_d[/tex]
We now equalice against Marginal Cost:
13,000 - 40Qd = 1,000
Qd = 12,000/40 = 300
Price: 13,000 - 20(300) = 7,000
We do the same process with Foreing demand:
(17,000 - 40Qf) x Qf = -40Qf^2 + 17,000Qf
R' = -80Qf + 17,000
-80Qf + 17,000 = 1,000
Qf = 16,000/80 = 200
Pf = 17,000 - 40(200) = 9,000
If the company cannot do price discrimination then:
We solve for the inverse of both market:
PD=13,000 -20QD
QD = 650 - PD/20
we take the price restrictions:
PD < 13,000
PF= 17,000-40QF
QF = (17,000 - PF)/40 = 425
QF = 425 - PF/40
PF < 17,000
Now, we aggregate the demands:
(650 -P/20 ) + (425 -P/40) =
Q= 1,075 - 0.075P
Make the inverse
P = (1,075 - Q ) / 0.075 = 14.333,33 -13.33Q
And solve for the Quantiy and Price that maximize profit
R = (14.333,33 -13.33Q) x Q = -13.33Q^2 + 14,333.33Q
R' = R(q)/dq = -26.66Q + 14,333.33
-26.66Q + 14,333.33 = 1,000
Q = 500
P = 14,333.33 - 13.33(500) = 7,667
Mickey, Mickayla, and Taylor are starting a new business (MMT). To get the business started, Mickey is contributing $200,000 for a 40% ownership interest. Mickayla is contributing a building with a value of $200,000 and a tax basis of $150,000 for a 40% ownership interest, and Taylor is contributing legal services for a 20% ownership interest. Using the research skills you learned in Week 1, access RIA Checkpoint and research what amount of gain/income each owner is required to recognize under each of the following alternative situations?
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Answer:
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §721, but Taylor's doesn't.
Explanation:
Basically §351 and §721 are very similar except that one applies to corporations and the other applies to partnerships and LLCs. No gain will be recognize when assets are transferred in exchange for equity, and the people involved in the exchange can control the company.
Ida Company produces a handcrafted musical instrument called a gamelan that is similar to a xylophone. The gamelans are sold for $722. Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 23,000
Units sold 20,000
Units in ending inventory 3,000
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $180
Direct labor $340
Variable manufacturing overhead $51
Variable selling and administrative $18
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $940,000
Fixed selling and administrative $820,000
Required:
a. Assume that the company uses absorption costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.
b. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Absorption costing:
Unitary fixed overhead= 940,000/23,000= $40.87
Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51 +40.87
Unitary production cost= $610.87
Variable costing:
Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51
Unitary production cost=$571
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production and variable costs includes all variable production costs.
What are absorption costs?
Absorption costs, also known as absorption costs, are a management calculation method that combines both highly flexible and adjusted cost to produce a particular product.
Knowing the full cost of production per unit enables manufacturers to price their products.
Calculation of Production costs assuming that the method of Absorption costing:
[tex]\rm\,Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead= \dfrac{\$940,000}{23,000}\\\\Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead== \$40.87 \;per \;unit\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost= (180 + 340 + 51 +40.87)\\\\Unitary \; Production \;Cost= \$610.87[/tex]
b) Calculation of production costs by variable costing method:
[tex]\rm\,Unitary \; Production \;Cost= (\$180 +\$340 + \$51)\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost=\$571[/tex]
Hence, The unit product cost for one gamelan by applying absorption costing is $610.87 and by variable costing is $571.

If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus
Answer:
a. The desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.
b. The income tax cut is $36.8 billion.
c. The amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The explantion of the answers is now provided as follows:
From the question, we have:
Aggregate demand (AD) shortfall = $700 billion
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.95
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
To calculate the the desired fiscal stimulus, we need to first calculate the multiplier as follows:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - MPC) ................... (1)
Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - 0.95) = 1 / 0.05 = 20
The formula for calculating the fiscal stimulus is as follows:
Fiscal stimulus = AD shortfall / Multiplier ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Fiscal stimulus = $700 billion / 20 = $35.0 billion.
Therefore, the desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Income tax cut = Fiscal stimulus / MPC .............. (3)
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Income tax cut = $35 billion / 0.95 = $36.8421052631579 billion
Rounding to one decimal place, we have
Income tax cut = $36.8 billion
Therefore, the income tax cut is $36.8 billion.
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The amount of increase in government spending that would achieve the target is the same thing as the desired fiscal stimulus already obtained in part a above.
Therefore, the amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.

The nature of a firm's cost (fixed or variable) depends on the Select one: a. firm's revenues. b. time horizon under consideration. c. price the firm charges for output. d. explicit but not implicit costs.
Answer:
B)time horizon under consideration.
Explanation:
firm's total cost of production can be regarded as the summation of both the fixed cost as well as the variable cost). It is all expenditures utilized in getting the needed factors of production( land, capital as well as labor)
Fixed cost known as overhead cost such as rent, insurance are expenses in the business that donor depends on the level of products(goods/service) from the business. While variable cost are cost that changes with production volume, they cover the cost of raw material used, direct labor as so on.It should be noted that The nature of a firm's cost (fixed or variable) depends on the time horizon under consideration
In 2010, Toyota recalled millions of automobiles to fix a potentially hazardous problem known as sudden acceleration. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, James Stewart gave investors the following advice: "Toyota shares were over $90 as recently as Jan. 19, 2010. They closed Tuesday (February 02, 2010) at $78.18, which strikes me as a modest decline under the circumstances. If I owned shares, I’d seize the chance to get out.
Required:
Would a believer in the efficient markets theory be likely to follow Stewart's advice?
Answer:
Of course not. Someone that believes in the efficient market theory (or hypothesis as it is generally called), believes that the market is always right. As an individual investor, you might be right or wrong, but the market as a whole has access to perfect information and the price of each stock already has been determined factoring all possible events and outcomes. I.e. the market's price is always the correct price and there is no way in which an individual investor can make a profit by buying or selling undervalued or overvalued stocks.
Personally, I disagree with this hypothesis, and the reason why most people call is a hypothesis is that they disagree with it. If the market is always right, then this theory is no good.
Gnomes R Us just paid a dividend of $1.90 per share. The company has a dividend payout ratio of 25 percent. If the PE ratio is 16.9 times, what is the stock price
Answer:
Stock price=$128.44
Explanation:
Calculation for stock price
First step is to calculate for dividend payout ratio using this formula
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Earnings
Let plug in the formula
Earnings=($1.90/0.25)
Earnings=$7.6
Now let calculate for PE ratio using this formula
PE ratio=Stock price/EPS
Let plug in the formula
Stock price=$7.6*16.9times
Stock price=$128.44
Therefore Stock price will be $128.44

Answer:
a. FALSE
Both Employers and Employees do most of the paying not the Federal government which only steps in for subsidies to lower income households.
b. TRUE
The Government can indeed fine employers or individuals for not having or providing health insurance.
c. FALSE
They cannot deny him coverage based on his pre-existing medical condition as a result of the ACA and neither can they charge higher premiums.
d. TRUE
Funding the ACA will need the Government to raise more revenue and they plan to do so by imposing new taxes on items including medical devices and indoor tanning.
e. TRUE.

g after examining the various personal loan rates available to you, you find that you can borrow funds from a finance company at an APR of percent compounded or from a bank at an APR of percent compounded . Which alternative is more attractive? a. If you borrow $ from a finance company at an APR of percent compounded for year, how much do you need to payoff the loan?
question text WITH missing information:
After examining the various personal loan rates available to you, you find that you can borrow funds from a finance company at an APR of 12 percent compounded monthly or from a bank at an APR of 13 percent compounded annually. Which alternative is more attractive?
If you borrow $100 from a finance company at an APR of 9% percent compounded for year, how much do you need to payoff the loan?
Answer:
The finance company option is better as we are taking the loan we want the lower rate possible.
We need $109 to payoff the loan of $100 at 9% annualy after a whole year.
Explanation:
We solve for the effective rate of 12% compounded monthly
[tex](1+\frac{0.12}{12} )^{12}[/tex] = 1.12682503 = 0.126825 = 12.6825%
As this rate is lower than 13% this option is better
If we take 100 dollars after a year we have to pay:
$100 x (1 + r) = 100 x (1 + 0.09) = 100 x 1.09 = $109
