Answer: Interest rate can vary
Explanation: Based on the description of Greg's and Joyce's mortgage loan, the key term is the adjustable nature of the loan used to finance the mortgage. Being adjustable simply means not fixated. Hence, the interest on the loan is bound to change throughout the entire period of the loan. This type of mortgage loans are called ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE or FLOATING mortgage. The change in the interest rate applied on the outstanding balance of is usually at intervals which could be annually, semianually or monthly basis as the case may be.
6. If the price elasticity of supply is 1.2, and a price increase led to a 5% increase in quantity supplied, then the price increase is about
Answer:
Price increase is about 4.2%
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) is a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a particular good/service supplied to a change in price.
The price elasticity of supply is mathematically the ratio of the percentage change in quantity supplied to the percentage change in price.
[tex]PES = \frac{\%\ change\ in\ quantity}{\%\ change\ in\ price} \\where\\PES= 1.2\\\% change\ in\ quantity = 5\%\\\%\ change\ in\ price = ???\\\therefore 1.2 = \frac{5}{\%\ change\ in\ price}\\ \%\ change\ in\ price = \frac{5}{1.2} \\\%\ change\ in\ price = 4.16\%[/tex]

Due to massive customer heterogeneity, Professor Fader would say there’s more opportunity to "move the needle" via ___________ than ___________.
Answer:
acquisition ; development
Explanation:
Heterogeneity refers to the state where the character if different of each and every product.
These days the consumer or the customers have heterogeneity and with basic product development each time you cannot full fill the need of every customer.
For that you need to provide complete other product sometime. Therefore, as per Professor Fader one should seek more opportunity through acquisition, that does not mean that you should stop development. Development is also needed, and shall not be stopped. That is always the icing on the cake.

According to the Coase Theorem, in the absence of bargaining costs, A. property rights are key to determining the final outcome of a dispute. B. regardless of the initial assignment of property rights, the parties will successfully bargain to the efficient outcome. C. whichever party has the larger initial assignment of property rights will control the outcome of a dispute. D. whichever party has more money will determine the outcome of a dispute.
Answer:
B. regardless of the initial assignment of property rights, the parties will successfully bargain to the efficient outcome.
Explanation:
This theorem is easier to explain using an example: you have a neighbor that likes playing drums during your nap time. Since playing drums is not illegal, there is very little that you can do to force your neighbor to stop making noise. You value your nap time at $50, and you neighbor values his drumming time at $35 since he could also purchase a Playstation game and play during that time. According to the Coarse Theorem, the optimal solution would be to give your neighbor $35 so he can play Playstation games, since you would gain $50 - $35 = $15.
An investor's portfolio has a beta coefficient of 0.85. If the overall market declined by 10% over the course of a year, the portfolio's value has likely
Answer: decreased by 8.5%
Explanation:
The beta coefficient of a stock is simply used to measure the volatility of a stock which is relative to the market.
From the question, we are informed that investor's portfolio has a beta coefficient of 0.85 and that the overall market declined by 10% over the course of a year.
Based on the information above, the value of the portfolio would have decreased by:
= 0.85/10
= 0.085
= 8.5%
The next dividend payment by GMR Enterprises will be $1.82 per share with future increases of 2.8 percent annually. The stock currently sells for $38.70 per share. What is the dividend yield
Answer:
4.70%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of dividend yield is shown below:-
Dividend Yield = Expected dividend ÷ Current price
where,
expected dividend is $1.82
And, the current price is $38.70
Now place the values to the above formula
So, the dividend yield is
= $1.82 ÷ $38.70
= 0.0470
or
= 4.70%
Therefore for computing the dividend yield we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose you invest today and receive in five years. a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next five years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? The IRR of this opportunity is 30.60%. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next five years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? The periodic payment that gives the same IRR is $ nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
investment today = $3,000receive $10,250 in 5 yearsa) I will use the future value formula to determine the internal rate of return:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
future value = 10,250present value = 3,000n = 510,250 = 3,000 x (1 + r)⁵
(1 + r)⁵ = 10,250 / 3,000 = 3.4166667
⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√3.4166667
1 + r = 1.27855826
r = 0.27855826 = 27.86%
b) assuming a $3,000, 27.86%, 5 year annuity, the annual payment will be:
annual payment = principal / FV annuity factor, 27.86%, 5 periods
principal = $10,250PV annuity factor, 27.86%, 5 periods = 8.67633annual payment = $10,250 / 8.67633 = $1,181.38

NOW Inc. released its annual results and financial statements. Grace is reading the summary in the business pages of today's paper. In its annual report this year, NOW Inc. reported a net income of $160 million. Last year, the company reported a retained earnings balance of $595 million, whereas this year it increased to $700 million. How much was paid out in dividends this year?
a. $265 million
b. $4 million
c. $55 million
d. $280 million
Answer:
1.
Option B is the correct answer.
2.
Dividends Paid = $55 million. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Explanation:
1.
The statement about shareholders' equity given in option A that it is the difference between the paid-in capital and retained earnings is incorrect as the retained earnings are a part of the equity of shareholders and are included in the calculation of shareholders' equity. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
2.
The Net Income earned by a company is usually treated in two ways. It is either paid out as dividends to the shareholders or is retained in the business and transferred to the retained earnings account or both. Thus, we can calculate the amount of dividends paid by the following equation.
Closing balance of retained earnings = Opening balance of retained earnings + Net Income for the period - Dividends Paid
700 = 595 + 160 - Dividends Paid
700 + Dividends Paid = 755
Dividends Paid = 755 - 700
Dividends Paid = $55 million

Care Clinic is preparing a worksheet for their staff. Their average starting salary is $60,000. Benefits are 25% this year. They expect them to go up to 27% next year. They are expecting to give a raise of 5% next year. Care Clinic has 20 employees. Prepare a formatted Excel Spreadsheet for Care Clinic. How much is the Total Staff Expense
Answer:
$1,600,200
Explanation:
The total staff expense can be calculated by using the following formula:
Total Staff Expense = (Salary For coming year with increment (STEP1) + Benefits In-Kind) * Total Employees
Here
Salary for Coming Year with Increment is $63,000 (Step1)
Total employees are 20 in Number
Benefits In-Kind per employee is 27% of salary which is $17,010 ($63,000 * 27%)
By putting values, we have:
Total Staff Expense = ($63,000 + $17,010) * 20 Employees
Total Staff Expense = $1,600,200
STEP 1: Find Salary for Coming Year with Increment
Salary for Coming Year with Increment = Average Salary Now * (1 + Increment)

A company borrowed from the bank by signing a longterm note. How does this transaction affect the accounting equation?
Answer:
Balanced
Explanation:
Accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity
If a company borrows a loan note from the bank this will alternatively increase the assets because the cash received from the bank and liabilities portion will also increase at the opposite side with the same amount the asset is increased therefore the accounting equation will be balanced.
According to classical macroeconomic theory, changes in the money supply affect: _________.(i) nominal variables, but not real variables.(ii) nominal variables and real variables. (iii) real variables, but not nominal variables.(iv) neither nominal nor real variables.
Answer: .(i) nominal variables, but not real variables

As the price level declines along the aggregate demand curve, the interest rate is most likely to:___________.
a. Decline
b. Increase
c. Remain unchanged
Answer:
a. Decline
Explanation:
Whenever there is a reduction in the price level, this results in gains in the real money supply which eventually moves the LM curve to the right.
Hence, given that, the IS curve has a downward slope, the IS and LM curves will meet at a higher level of income and a lower interest rate.
Therefore, the correct answer, in this case, is Option A: DECLINE
Note LM means Liquidity and Money
While IS means Investment and Savings.

The price of printers at the big box tech stores increases as a new type of print tech is rolled out to consumers. which of the follwoing scenario for a complementary printer good would likely take place?
A- the demand for printer ink decreases as less people are buying printers
B- the demand for printer paper rises as pepole stock up
Answer:
A- the demand for printer ink decreases as less people are buying printers
Explanation:
Generally speaking, when the price of a complementary good increases, the quantity demanded for both goods should decrease. If the price decreases, the opposite should happen. Even though the demand for some high tech products behave in strange ways (e.g. first iPhones), usually new products with higher prices will result in a decrease of the demand for that specific product and all complementary products.

Identify four factors that affect whether an industry does or does not present a company with a good business opportunity?
Answer:
Rivalry between competitors Bargaining power of suppliers Bargaining power of customers Threat of new competitorsExplanation:
The factors chosen to identify whether or not a sector presents a good business opportunity for a company, were the strengths of Porter, who analyzes the micro and macro environment to determine whether a company can be competitive in the market.
The rivalry between competitors is an essential factor to measure the degree of opportunity for a business to be successful, as this factor will determine different variables among competitors of similar products in the market, such as the strength of the brand, the demand for your product, etc. in order to measure how this factor will directly impact your business.
The bargaining power of suppliers implies the bargaining power of the supplier with the company, being able to provide favorable or unfavorable conditions to a business, such as price, delivery time, quality, etc.
The bargaining power of buyers means measuring and monitoring how your product will have a positive or negative weight on the customer and which affects the volume of purchases, the possibility of the customer negotiating with the company, etc.
And the threat of new competitors concerns new competitors that can enter the market and directly impact their business, for this the barriers to entry such as legislation, high entry capital, etc. should be analyzed.

The benchmark PE is 18.8 times. What stock price would you consider appropriate
Answer:
Stock price = $74.26
Explanation:
The value of a share can be determined using the price earning ratio model. According to this model, the price of a share is estimated as the EPS of the company multiplied by a representative (benchmark) price- earning (P/E) ratio .
The ratio relates the price of a stock to its earning. A stock with a higher P/R indicates a high potent for growth.
Price of stock =Earnings per share( EPS) × benchmark P/E ratio
The appropriate comparative price earnings ratio in the question has been given as 18.8 times.
DATA-
EPS- 3.95
PE- 18.8
Stock price = 3.95 × 18.8= $74.26
Stock price = $74.26
