Mark Johnson saves a fixed percentage of his salary at the end of each year. This year he saved $3,000. For each of the next 5 years, he expects his salary to increase at an 4% annual rate, and he plans to increase his savings at the same 4% rate. There will be a total of 6 investments, the initial $3,000 plus five more. If the investments earn a return of 9% per year, how much will Mark have at the end of six years?
Answer:
Mark Johnson
At the end of six years, Mark will have:
= $26,945.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Savings for the first year = $3,000
Annual rate of salary and savings increase = 4%
Interest rate = 9%
Savings for Year 2 = $3,120 ($3,000 * 1.04)
Savings for Year 3 = $3,245 ($3,120 * 1.04)
Savings for Year 4 = $3,375 ($3,245 * 1.04)
Savings for Year 5 = $3,510 ($3,375 * 1.04)
Savings for Year 6 = $3,650 ($3,510 * 1.04)
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6
Savings $3,000 $3,120 $3,245 $3,375 $3,510 $3,650
FV factor 1.677 1.539 1.412 1.295 1.188 1.090
FV = $5,031 $4,802 $4,592 $4,371 $4,170 $3,979
Total FV = $26,945
Total principal contribution = $19,900
Total interest = $7,045
Refinancing a loan. About Suppose someone takes out a home improvement loan for $30,000. The annual interest on the loan is 6% and is compounded monthly. The monthly payment is $600. Let an denote the amount owed at the end of the nth month. The payments start in the first month and are due the last day of every month.
(a) Give a recurrence relation for an. Don't forget the base case.
(b) Suppose that the borrower would like a lower monthly payment. How large does the monthly payment need to be to ensure that the amount owed decreases every month? Feedback?
Answer:
[tex](a)[/tex] [tex]A_n = A_{n-1}(1.005) - 600[/tex] where [tex]A_0 = 30000[/tex]
(b) Above $150
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Loan = \$30000[/tex]
[tex]Rate =6\%[/tex] --- annually
Solving (a): Recursion for the amount at the end of n month
The base case is:
[tex]A(0) = 30000[/tex]
Next, we calculate the monthly rate (r)
[tex]r = \frac{Annual\ Rate}{12}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{6\%}{12}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.5\%[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.005[/tex]
The loan amount remaining at the end of month n is then calculated as:
[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}*(1 + r) - 600[/tex] ---[The 600 represents the monthly payment]
[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}*(1 + 0.005) - 600[/tex]
[tex]A_n = A_{n-1}(1.005) - 600[/tex]
Solving (b):
Suppose the borrower requests for a lower monthly payment, then the following condition will exist:
[tex]P > A_{n-1} *0.005[/tex]
i.e. the monthly payment will exceed the monthly interest
Let [tex]n= 1[/tex]
[tex]P > A_{1-1} *0.005[/tex]
[tex]P > A_0 *0.005[/tex]
Substitute 30000 for [tex]A_0[/tex]
[tex]P > 30000 *0.005[/tex]
[tex]P > 150[/tex]
His monthly payment must exceed $150
. What happens when the domestic interest rate is lower than foreign interest rates?Foreign investment shift domestically
Answer:
Lower domestic interest rates should help to boost the economy, by increasing lending and investment. It also should depreciate the currency of the country, increasing exports and decreasing imports. This temporary depreciation of the currency should be offset in the short run, as more exports will eventually result in an appreciation. Foreign direct investment should also increase (at least temporarily) due to cheaper currency.
Your firm is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.6 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $5.4 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $11.2 million to build, and the site requires $713,900 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Answer:
the proper cash flow amount is -$17,313,900
Explanation:
The computation of the proper cash flow amount is given below:
= Land value + plant cost + grading cost
= -$5,400,000 - $11,200,000 - $713,900
= -$17,313,900
Hence, the proper cash flow amount is -$17,313,900

XYZ Corp. applies manufacturing overhead costs to products at a budgeted indirect-cost rate of $65 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. A retail outlet has requested a bid on a special order of a necklace. Estimates for this order include: Direct materials of $35,000; 250 direct manufacturing labor-hours at $25 per hour; and a 30% markup rate on total manufacturing costs.
Estimated total product costs for this special order equal________
Answer:
Total production costs= $57,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $65 per direct manufacturing labor-hour.
Direct materials of $35,000
250 direct manufacturing labor-hours at $25 per hour
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 65*250= $16,250
Now, the total production costs:
Total production costs= 35,000 + 25*250 + 16,250
Total production costs= $57,500

Your firm designs PowerPoint slides for computer training classes, and you have just received a request to bid on a contract to produce the slides for an eight-session class. From previous experience, you know that your firm follows an 85 percent learning rate. For this contract, it appears the effort will be substantial, running 50 hours for the first session. Your firm bills at the rate of $100/hour and the overhead is expected to run a fixed $600 per session. The finder will pay you a flat fixed rate per session. If your nominal profit margin is 20 percent, what will be the total bid price, the per session price, and at what session will you break even
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
To figure out the total bidding price, we must first figure out the total cost of all eight sessions.
To calculate the total expense, we must first determine the total number of hours required for each of the eight sessions.
Now that we know the learning rate is 85% and the first session took 50 hours, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session. The average time taken for 8 sessions with an 85 percent learning curve would be the result.
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
Hence, the total cost will be covered by the 7th session.
The conclusion details as below :
To know about the total bidding prices firstly we should know about the total cost of all the session.
We should know the number of hours provided to each Session .
As we all know the learning rates is 85% and the first beginning session took 50hrs, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
So as per the above calculation , the cost will be covered by
the 7th Session.

A country aims to double real GDP per capita in the next 25 years. If the rate of population growth in the country is 1.5% per year then at approximately what rate does real GDP need to grow to achieve this goal
Answer: 4.3%
Explanation:
Real GDP growth rate = GDP per Capita growth rate + Population growth rate
GDP per capita growth rate:
One can use the rule of 70 to calculate the length of time it would take something to double:
Years = 70 / rate
rate * years = 70
Rate = 70 / years
= 70/25
= 2.8%
Real GDP growth rate = 2.8% + 1.5%
= 4.3%
Select the answer that makes each statement correct. When the government changes either its spending or tax policy to pursue economic objectives, it has changed its financial policy. political policy. monetary policy. contractionary policy. expansionary policy. fiscal policy. Changing the amount of money in circulation to pursue economic objectives changes the
Answer:
fiscal policy
monetary policy
Explanation:
Monetary policy are policies taken by the central bank of a country to shift aggregate demand.
There are two types of monetary policy :
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply. When money supply decreases, aggregate demand falls. Increasing interest rate and open market sales are ways of carrying out contractionary monetary policy
Fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise. The tools of fiscal policy are either taxes and government spending
Fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary

This year Lloyd, a single taxpayer, estimates that his tax liability will be $11,350. Last year, his total tax liability was $15,900. He estimates that his tax withholding from his employer will be $8,655. Problem 8-77 Part-a (Algo) a. How much does Lloyd need to increase his withholding by (for the year), in order to avoid the underpayment penalty
Answer:
Lloyd needs to increase his witholding tax to $1,560 this year in order to avoid the underpayment penalty .
Explanation:
As a rule, a citizen can maintain a strategic distance from an underpayment of punishment if their retention and evaluated assessment installment measure up to or surpass one of the two safe harbours
90% of current expense risk = 90% × $11,350
= $10,215
100% of past assessment risk = $15,900
Since his(Lloyd) retention is not equal to or exceed $10,215 or $15,900
Llyod should expand retaining or make payment this year in order to stay away from underpayment punishment
= $10,215 - $8,655
= $1,560
Some characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic:
a. This is the premium that reflects the risk associated with changes in interest rates for a long-term security.
b. Over the past several years, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland have had lower interest rates than the United States due to lower values of this premium.
c. It is based on the bond’s marketability and trading frequency; the less frequently the security is traded, the higher the premium added, thus increasing the interest rate.
d. This is the rate for a short-term riskless security when inflation is expected to be zero.
e. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full.

The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances. Which of the following situations would probably NOT be considered for an exemption?
Available options are:
A salesperson who has held a valid license within the last 3 years
A broker who surrendered his broker license and has been employed as a salesperson since the surrender
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
A broker associate who held a broker associate license two years ago
Answer:
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
Explanation:
The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances except "a broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
This is because in the United States, for the real estate brokers to renew a license they need to undergo an examination as part of the requirements. However, they may be granted an exception under specific situations such as
1. When they still hold a valid license within the last 3 years
2. When they hold broker associate valid license within the last two years
3. When they are now into salesperson employment.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
A financial manager is considering two possible sources of funds necessary to finance a $10,000,000 investment that will yield $1,500,000 before interest and taxes. Alternative one is a short-term commercial bank loan with an interest rate of 8 percent for one year. The alternative is a five-year term loan with an interest rate of 10 percent. The firm's income tax rate is 30 percent.
Required:
a. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative for the first year?
b. The financial manager expects short-term rates to rise to 11 percent in the second year. At that time long-term rates will have risen to 12%. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative in the second year?
c. What are the crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance?
Answer:
a. We have:
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the first year = $490,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the first year = $350,000
b. We have:
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the second year = $280,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the second year = $210,000
c. These include repayment terms, security available, the total cost of borrowing, business risk, the current capital gearing of the business, and among others.
Explanation:
a. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative for the first year?
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the first year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the first year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the first year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 8%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 8%)) * 30%) = $490,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the first year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the first year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the first year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 10%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 10%)) * 30%) = $350,000
b. The financial manager expects short-term rates to rise to 11 percent in the second year. At that time long-term rates will have risen to 12%. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative in the second year?
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the second year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the second year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the second year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 11%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 11%)) * 30%) = $280,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the second year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the second year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the second year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 12%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 12%)) * 30%) = $210,000
c. What are the crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance?
The crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance include repayment terms, security available, the total cost of borrowing, business risk, the current capital gearing of the business, and among others.
