Following his high school graduation, Brandon buys a new laptop for $1,500 through BestSpend's payment program which requires no

money down and only a $40/month payment at the end of each month. Interest on purchases through this program accrues at 25% APR compounded monthly.
Instead of the $40/month minimum payment, assume that Brandon decides to pay $100 each month. How long will it take Brandon to pay off his laptop now? (see Practice Problem 4)
A. 20.1 months
B. 17.7 months
C. 18.2 months
D. It will take Brandon just as long to pay off the loan as the $40/month payment would.

Answer:

C) 18.2 months

Explanation:

If Brandon had paid only $40 per month with such a high APR, it would have taken him almost 74 months to pay for the computer. But since he paid $100 per month, then he will need to pay for only 18.2 months.

A 25% APR represents over $362 in interests during the first year, while his total payments would have been only $480. That is why it would have taken so long to pay the debt. By paying 2.5 times more money, the total time needed to pay the debt is only one fourth of the established schedule.

Companies HD and LD have the same tax rate, sales, total assets, and basic earning power.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

e. Company HD has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio.

Explanation:

We know that both companies have the same EBIT, because both have the same Basic Earning Power, which is calculated by dividing EBIT by Total Assets.

Then if company HD has a higher debt ratio and higher interest expenses, it means that the Times Interest Ratio in HD company it's lower than LD company, the Times Interest Ratio , it's calculated by dividing EBIT/Interest Expenses, at the same EBIT, but higher interest expenses on HD company, it means a lower Times Interest Ratio to this company.

The demand for yak butter is given by 150 – 3pd and the supply is 3ps – 30, where Pa is the price paid by demanders and ps is th
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) Attached

2) 150-3p = 3p-30

3) P=30, Q=60

4) 150-3p = 3p-90

5) P=40 and Q=30

6) Ps=Pd+10

7) P=35, Q=45

8) P=45, Q=45

Explanation:

We can write the equation for the quantity demanded as:

Q_d=150-3p_d

And the equation for the quantity supplied as:

Q_s=3p_s-30

1) Attached

2) The equilibrium price can be calculated by making the quantity supplied equal to quantity demanded:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-30=150-3p\\\\6p=150+30=180\\\\p=180/6=30

3) The equilibrium price is P=30.

The equilibrium quantity can be calculated as:

Q_s=150-3*30=150-90=60

The equilibrium quantity is Q=60.

4) The supply now becomes:

Q'_s=3p_s-90

The equation for the new equilibrium price is:

Q_d=Q'_s\\\\150-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=150+90=240\\\\p=240/6=40

Qd=150-3*40=150-120=30

5) The new equilibrium is at p=40 and Q=30

6) They will receive

p_s=p_d+subsidy=p_d+10

7)  In this case, the quantity supplied becomes:

Q_s=3p_s-90=3(p+10)-90=3p+30-90=3p-60

The new price equilibrium becomes P=35:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-60=150-3p\\\\6p=150+60\\\\p=210/6=35

The quantity for this equilibrium is Q=45:

Q_d=150-3*35=150-105=45

8) Now, the equations for demand and supply are:

Q_s=3p-90\\\\Q_d=150-3(p-10)=150-3p+30=180-3p

The equilibrium price and quantity becomes:

Q_d=Q_s\\\\180-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=180+90\\\\p=270/6=45\\\\\\Q_d=180-3*45=180-135=45

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Supervised and Unsupervised Learning:

a. Unsupervised learning

b. Supervised learning

3. Supervised learning

4. Unsupervised learning

Explanation:

The key difference between supervised machine learning and unsupervised machine learning is that with supervised machine learning there is a training dataset (labeled data) on which the algorithm is trained to predict patterns.  With unsupervised machine learning on the other hand, there is no training data.  So, the algorithm discovers patterns on itself without reference to another labeled data or training dataset.
