Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
-
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.
All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
Answer:
$444.42
Explanation:
For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc
The economic order quantity is
where,
Annual demand is
= 774 packaging crates × 12 months
= 9,932 crates
And, the carrying cost is
= $12 × 34%
= $4.08
= 363.37 crates
Now the total cost is
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08
= $742.02 + $740.52
= $1,482.54
Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08
= $348 + $1,578.96
= $1,926.96
So, the annual saving cost is
= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54
= $444.42
Answer:
$112,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 2/4 x $450,000 = $225,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $450,000 - $225,000 = $225,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/4 x $225,000 = $112,500
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
EPS = $3.50
Book value per share = $22.75
Shares outstanding = 220,000
Debt-to-assets ratio = 46%
Total Equity (Book Value) = Book value per share × Shares outstanding
= $22.75 × 220,000
= $5,005,000
Total Assets =
=
= $9,268,518.52
Debt outstanding = Total Assets - Total Equity
= $9,268,518.52 - $5,005,000
= $4,263,518.52
= $4,263,519 (approx)
Answer:
1.45 times
Explanation:
The computation of company's fixed asset turnover ratio is shown below:-
Average of Net Property, plant and equipment = ($3.0 million + $3.9 million) ÷ 2
= $6.9 million ÷ 2
= $3.45 million
Fixed asset turnover ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average of Net Property, plant and equipment
= $5 million ÷ $3.45 million
= 1.45 times
Therefore for computing the fixed assets turnover ratio we simply applied the above formula.
