notsponge [240]

Answer:

Y= $18,194.05

Explanation:

This is a form of annuity that involves payment of equal amounts monthly for 5 years. These amount are made up of part of the interest and part of the principal.

Using the annuity formula

P= Y{1-(1/[1+r]^n)/r}

Where P = Initial loan amount

Y = yearly payment

r= interest rate

n= number of years

75,000= Y{1-(1/[1+0.068]^5)/0.068}

75,000= Y{1-(0.719689)/0.068}= Y{0.280311/0.068}

Y= 75,000/4.122227

Y= $18,194.05

Andreyy89

Answer:

a) YTM = 9.8%

b) realized compound yield is 9.9%

Explanation:

a) PMT = 80

par value FV = 1000

coupon rate = 8%

curent price PV = 953.1

years to maturity n = 3

Yield to maturity (YTM) = \frac{PMT+(FV-PV)/n}{(FV+PV)/2} = \frac{80+(1000-953.1)/3}{(1000+953.1)/2}= 9.8%

b) r2 = 10% = 100%+10%=1.1

r3 = 12% = 100%+12%=1.12

Realized compound yield:First, find the future value (FV. of reinvested coupons and principal

FV =  ($80 *1.10 *1.12) + ($80 * 1.12) + $1080 = $1268.16

let a be the rate that makes the future value $1268.16

953.1(1+y)³ =$1268.16

(1+y)³=1.33

1+y=1.099

y = 0.099 = 9.9%

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

K425= $1,874

M67= $10,540

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates

Supporting direct labor $ 6 per direct labor-hour

Machine processing $ 4 per machine-hour

Machine setups $ 50 per setup

Production orders $ 90 per order

Shipments $ 14 per shipment

Product sustaining $ 840 per product

Total Expected Activity

K425 M67

Number of units produced per year 200 2,000

Direct labor-hours 80 500

Machine-hours 100 1,500

Machine setups 1 4

Production orders 1 4

Shipments 1 10

Product sustaining 1 1

To allocate overhead to each product, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

K425= (6*80) + (4*100) + (50*1) + (90*1) + (14*1) + (840*1)

K425= $1,874

M67= (6*500) + (4*1,500) + (50*4) + (90*4) + (14*10) + (840*1)

M67= $10,540

Social computing forces companies to deal with customers ________ as opposed to ________.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Reactively, Proactively.

Explanation:

The above statement deals computing forces companies dealings with customers. Generally, in real-life dealings, we cannot afford to have a choice between Proactive and Reactive approaches. Proactive approach is generally more effective in terms of avoiding /reducing loss of life and property etc. however, it depends on the situation, time available to take action and resource availability. I have seen that even in the case of worst natural disasters like cyclones , proactive approach by civic authorities ,on the basis of limited scientific forecast inputs available, helped in averting major damages.

However, if there is a sudden accident, we have no other choice but to react on the spot. In some situations, like disasters ( man-made or natural) , a combination of proactive and reactive approaches can be more effective.
