A loan of $12,000 is to be repaid within one year with level monthly payments, due at the beginning of each month. The 12 payments equal $1,000 each. A finance charge of $632 is also due with the first payment. Which of the following is closest to the effective annual interest rate on the loan?

a. 12.7%
b. 12.9%
c.13.1%
d. 13.3%
e. 13.5%

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

It is given : loan amount = $12,000

Time to repay = 12 months

Finance charge = $ 632

AT the interest rate, outflow = inflow

The present value of the loan amounts = loan amount

[tex]$1000+632+[1000 \times (PVAF (r ,11))]=12000$[/tex]

[tex]$1000 \times PVAF(r,11)=12000-1632$[/tex]

[tex]$PVAF(r,11)=\frac{10368}{1000}$[/tex]

[tex]$PVAF(r,11)=10.368$[/tex]

Now using the annuity table we get

PVAF(1%, 11)=10.9676

This is equal to 10.368 (approximately)

∴ [tex]$r=1$[/tex] % per month of compounded monthly

So the annual interest rate is :

[tex]$=[(1+0.01)^{12}]-1$[/tex]

[tex]$r=[(1.01)^{12}]-1$[/tex]

[tex]$r = 12.68$[/tex] %

  = 12.70 %

Hence the correct option is (a).

Answer 2
The loan's effective yearly interest rate is 12.7 percent. As a result, option (a) is the proper response.

How do you compute the Annual Interest rate?

[tex]\text{It is given : loan amount} = $12,000\\\text{Time to repay} = 12 months\text{Finance charge} = $ 632\\\text{At the interest rate, outflow = inflow}\\\text{The present value of the loan amounts = loan amount}[/tex]

[tex]1000 + 632 + [ (P.V (r.11))] = 12,000\\\\1000 \text { x } P.V (r,11) = 12,000 - 1,632\\\\P.V (r.11) = \frac{10,368}{1000}\\\\P.V (r,11) = 10.368[/tex]

[tex]\text{Now using the annuity table we get} \\P.V (0.01, 11) =10.9676\\\text{This is equal to 10.368 (approximately)}[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.01 \text{ per month}\\\text{ Annual Interest rate}:\\r= [(1+0.01}^{12}] - 1\\r= [(1.01}^{12}] - 1\\r= 12.68\\[/tex]

Therefore, the closest option among the following choices is an option (a), i.e., 12.7%

Required:

a. Construct the company's contribution format income statement for April. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Redo the company's contribution format income statement assuming that the company sells 1,800 units.

Answers

Answer:

1. $15,500

2. $11,700

Explanation:

Given the following information,

the company sold 1,900 units

Total sales were $152,000

Total variable expenses were $79,800

Total fixed expenses were $56,700

The structure for Contribution income margin format is seen below;

Income statement:

Sales

- Total Variable cost

= Contribution margin

- Fixed costs

= Net Operating income

1. Income statement

Sales = $152,000

Less Total variable cost = ($79,800)

Contribution margin = $72,200

Less Total Fixed costs = ($56,700)

Net operating income = $15,500

2. Here, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and the unitary variable cost

Selling price = $152,000 ÷ 1,900 units = $80

Unitary Variable cost = $79,800 ÷ 1,900 units = $42

Therefore,

Sales = 1,800 units × $80

$144,000

Less total variable cost = 1,800 units × $42

$75,600

Contribution margin

$68,400

Less total fixed costs

$56,700

Net operating income

$11,700
