A borrower obtains a one-year ARM which starts at 4.0% and has a margin of 3.0% and 2/6 caps. At the end of the first year, the index is 5.0%. What is the interest rate after the first adjustment
Answer:
The answer is "6".
Explanation:
In the given question the response is 6 because the new rate is the lower of the index + margin (in that case 5 + 3 = 8) whenever the interest rate changes as well as the current rate + cap (in that instance the value 4 + 2 = 6). Its rate of interest would also be 6 percent after the very first adjustment.
A part of financial report of company Z is given below. Calculate days of supply for company Z.
Value of finished goods on-hand $2,930

Net revenue $24,800
a. More than 0 but less than or equal to 60
b. More than 60 but less than or equal to 100
c. More than 100 but less than or equal to 140
d. More than 140 but less than or equal to 200 More than 200
Answer:
Company Z
The days of supply for Company Z are:
d. More than 140 but less than or equal to 200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of finished goods on-hand $2,930
Value of production materials on-hand $1,640
Value of work-in-process inventory $710
Total inventory = $5,280
Cost of goods sold $12,500
Net revenue $24,800
Days of Supply = Average Inventory/Cost of goods sold * 365
= $5,280/$12,500 * 365
= 154.2 days
b) The Inventory Days of Supply for Company Z or Days Inventory Outstanding" or Inventory Period measures the average number of days Company Z holds its inventory before selling it. As an efficiency ratio, the ratio measures the number of days Company Z's funds are held up in inventory before actual sales to customers.
Some portion of fixed assets and the nonseasonal portion of current assets are financed with long-term capital, and all seasonal needs of current assets and the remaining portion of fixed assets are financed with short-term loans. Which current asset financing policy is consistent with this statement
Answer: Aggressive approach
Explanation:
With an Aggressive approach to financing, the management is trying to take advantage of the fluctuations in interest rates by using short term loans to finance some parts of fixed assets as well as current assets. This is what is happening here so the management must be using aggressive financing.
This is unlike the conservative approach where fixed assets are financed with long term financing like stocks and bonds with the logic being that both of them have similar lifetimes and so will supply adequate cashflow for the payment of interest overtime.

Explanation:
Which firm will have a higher level of economic performance: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry or b) a firm with valuable, rare, costly-to-imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very unattractive industry
Answer: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry.
Explanation:
Companies that have valuable, rare and costly to imitate resources and capabilities will see a better economic performance overall because they are offering the market something that not a lot of companies are offering which gives them the opportunity to increase profitability.
This would be even more effective if the company was in an attractive industry. An attractive industry means that there are a lot of buyers and sellers but because the company has costly to imitate resources, they will worry less about the sellers and gain more buyers thereby helping them to perform better.
Tax Savings. John and Cheryl just borrowed $30,000 on a home equity line of credit. The interest rate for the loan is 6.75% for the entire year, and they took out the loan on May 1. John and Cheryl are in the 28% tax bracket. What will be their tax savings for the first year ending December 31st
Answer:
$378
Explanation:
Interest expenses in current year = Amount of borrowing*Interest rate*8 month/12 months
Interest expenses in current year = $30,000 * 6.75% * 8/12
Interest expenses in current year = $1,350
Tax saving on interest expenses = Interest expenses * Tax rate
Tax saving on interest expenses = $1,350 * 28%
Tax saving on interest expenses = $378
So, their tax savings for the first year ending December 31 will be $378.

Find the present value of $3,900 under each of the following rates and periods: (Round your final answer to the nearest penny.) a. 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years. Present value $ b. 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years. Present value $ c. 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years. Present value $ d. 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years. Present value $
Answer:
(a) 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years is $2,503.32.
(b) 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years is $2,310.09.
(c) 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years is $3,283.75.
(d) 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years is $3,287.05
Explanation:
The Present Value is calculated by using:-
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
Here, r is the Interest Rate and n is the number of periods.
(a). 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years:-
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.741667% [8.90% / 12 Months])
Number period (n) = 60 Years [5 Years x 12]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.00741667)60\\= $3,900 / 1.5579298\\= $2,503.32[/tex]
(b). 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years:-
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 1.65% [6.60% / 4]
Number period (n) = 32 Years [8 Years x 4]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.0165)32\\= $3,900 / 1.688248\\= $2,310.09[/tex]
(c). 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.0117808% [4.30% / 365 Days]
Number period (n) = 1460 Years [4 Years x 365 Days]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.000117808)1460\\\\= $3,900 / 1.187665\\\\= $3,283.75[/tex]
(d). 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years
Future Value = $3,900
Interest Rate (r) = 0.0156164% [5.70% / 365 Days]
Number period (n) = 1095 Years [3 Years x 365 Days]
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
[tex]= $3,900 / (1 + 0.000156164)1095\\= $3,900 / 1.1864749\\= $3,287.05[/tex]
Green Goddess Developers is a large nationwide landscape company with home offices in Libertyville, IL. The local media often gushes over the gorgeous landscaping that surrounds the 30-acre headquarters. At the back end of the complex are several large warehouses and garages that hold large equipment. The grounds surrounding the warehouses look like a park. Across the street from the garages are several shops and businesses. The CEO, Patty, often talks about how thankful she is that the town permits her to store equipment at that site, and vows to always maintain the premises for her neighbors, not to mention that she asks 100 employees to come to work there every day. Which of the following statements describes Patty's business philosophy?
A. Patty is a nice woman whose company made a lot of money, so she is willing to spread it around.
B. Patty understands that even though it may cost a little more, stakeholder considerations are very important if you want your business to thrive.
C. Patty is more concerned about town politics than about the company profits. She should ask his employees if they would rather have that money in their pockets than on the lawns.
D. Patty is taking a business risk that her trucks and equipment will not make too much noise as they enter and exit the garages.
Someone offers to buy your car for five, equal annual payments, beginning 6 years from today. If you think that the present value of your car is $15,000.00 and the interest rate is 10%, what is the minimum annual payment that you would accept
Answer:
The minimum annual payment that you would accept is $7,010.
Explanation:
Using the future value formula, we have:
Future value of the car in 6 years = Present value * (100% + Interest rate)^number of years = $15,000 * (100% + 10%)^6 = $26,573.42
Using the present value of an ordinary annuity formula, we have:
Minimum annual payment = Future value of the car in 6 years / ((1 - (1 / (100% + Interest rate))^number of years to pay equal amount) / Interest rate) = $26,573.42 / ((1 - (1 / (100% + 10%))^5) / 10%) = $26,573.42 / 3.79078676940845 = $7,010
Therefore, the minimum annual payment that you would accept is $7,010.

impact of population growth on environmental degradation
Answer:
Explanation:
Population growth may be described in simple terms as the rate at which the number of people residing in a particular country is increasing or multiplying. Some states or countries have a higher population figure than the other and also higher rate of growth. As population increases, the resources available to people in that community suffers as the burden will also grow. The environment also will also take its own share of the effects as overcrowding seems to creep in together with increased burden on environmental resources and infrastructure. If proactive measures aren't taken in other to boost resources and infrastructure as indaquate handling of population growth will almost always result in environmental and infrastructure degradation or decline.
An analyst gathered the following information about a company: 01/01/04 - 50,000 shares issued and outstanding at the beginning of the year 04/01/04 - 5% stock dividend 10/01/04 - 10% stock dividend What is the company's weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of 2004
Answer:
Company A
The company's weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of 2004 is:
= 53,188 shares.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Description Weight Weighted Average
01/01/04 - 50,000 shares issued
and outstanding 12/12 = 50,000
04/01/04 - 5% stock dividend (2,500) 9/12 = 1,875
10/01/04 - 10% stock dividend (5,250) 3/12 = 1,313
Total weighted average number of shares = 53,188
You made a $500,000 loan at 10% interest when the CPI was 120. The loan was repaid five years after that, when the CPI was 130. Assume the tax on interest income is 20%. Calculate the tax you owe the government.
Answer:
10000 before inflation, 10833 after inflation
Explanation:
P = 500000
1 = 10%
Interest calculated = 500000x0.1
= $50000
20%x50000 = $10000
Rate of inflation = (130-120)/120 = 0.833
0.833x100%
= 8.333%
What has to be paid to government
= 10000+(8.333*10000)
= 10833
Before inflation, you owe $10000
After inflation you owe $10833

according to investment digest (diversification and the risk/reward relationship, winter 1994, 1-3), the mean of the annual return for common stocks from 1926 to 1992 was 16.5% and the standard deviation of the annual return was 19%.what is the probability that the stock returns are greater than 17%.
Answer:
0.488
Explanation:
Mean annual return for common stocks = 16.5%
standard deviation of annual return = 19%
Determine the probability that the stock returns are greater than 17%
P ( Stock returns > 17% )
stock returns = x
= 1 - p ( x - μ / 6 < 17 - 16.5 / 19 )
∴ 1 - p ( Z < 0.03 )
= 1 - 0.5120 = 0.488
