Answer:
The rate at which to discount the payments to find sum borrowed is 12.68%
Explanation:
The discount rate to be used in computing the sum borrowed can e derived from the effective annual rate formula below:
Effective annual rate = (1 + Quoted interest rate/m)^m - 1
quoted interest rate is 8.40
m is the number of months in a year when compounding is done which is 12
effective annual rate=(1+8.40%/12)^12-1
effective annual rate=(1+0.01)^12-1
effective annual rate=(1.01)^12-1
effective annual rate=1.12682503
-1
effective annual rate=0.12682503=12.68%
Before the foundation of the United States, the Kingdom of Britain owned the 13 colonies on the East shore of North America. Those colonies were separated into 3 regions: the New England, the Middle Colonies, the Southern Colonies. Economic activities and trade was dependent of the environment in each of those regions. Economy in the New England : ship building industry, fishing, trade. Economy in the Middle Colonies: farming, lot of jobs for skilled workers. Also merchants invested money in colonies. In the Southern Colonies: cotton and tobacco-industry. The economy impact the livelihood of the original 13 colonies by giving jobs and money to the colonists.
Answer: The real GDP per person grew by 8%. Option C is the correct option
Explanation:
To calculate the real GDP per person, we have to calculate the real GDP growth rate in respect to the growth in population and deflator rate, then multiply it with the GDP growth.
GDP deflator = Nominal GDP ÷ Real GDP
The nominal GDP which includes the addition of population will grow by 4% since the population growth was 4%
GDP deflator increase by 6%
Therefore;
Real GDP = 4% ÷ 6% = 0.66667
THE REAL GDP PER PER PERSON
12% × 0.66667 = 8.00004%
Therefore the the real GDP per person is 8%, which is less than what he said.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The first part was true. A higher WACC results in a lower NPV simply because a higher discount rate results in a lower present value.
E.g. 100 / (1 + 6%)³ = 83.96, but if we increase r to 10%, then 100 / (1 + 10%)³ = 75.13
The second part is wrong because under the IRR method, the decision rule is very simple, all projects are accepted if their IRR is higher than the project's WACC (or discount rate). I.e. if hte project's WACC increases, so does the chance of the project being rejected because the IRR might be lower than the WACC.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. The computation of the labor rate variance is shown below:
= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)
= 5,050 × ($16.80 per hour - $16 per hour)
= 5,050 × $0.80 per hour
= $4,040 unfavorable
b. The computation of the labor time variance is shown below:
= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)
= $16 per hour × (5,050 hours - 1,000 × 5.4 hours)
= $16 per hour × -350 hours
= -$5,600 favorable
c. The computation of the total labor variance is shown below:
= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × standard rate)
= (5,050 hours × $16.80 per hour) - (1,000 bicycles × 5.4 hours × $16 per hour)
= $84,840 - $86,400
= -$1,560 favorable
