Answer:
Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.
UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms
Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.
INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.
CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.
ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms

Answer:
a. Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24
b. Acid-test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92
c. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13
d. Inventory turnover = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8
e. Total asset turnover = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4
f. Operating profit margin = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31
g. Days in receivables = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 = 52.14 days
h. Operating return on assets = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12
i. Debt ratio = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52
j. Fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63
k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18
Consider a multifactor model with two factors. A well-diversified portfolio (Portfolio P) has a beta of 0.75 on factor 1 and a beta of 1.25 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 are 1% and 7%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 7%. What is the expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
Expected Return on portfolio P will be calculated as:
= Rf + (Beta1 × F1) + (Beta2 × F2)
where,
Rf = Risk Free rate
F1 = risk premium on Factor1
F2 = risk premium on Factor2
Expected Return will now be:
= 7% + (0.75 × 1%) + (1.25 × 7%)
= 7% + 0.75% + 8.75%
= 16.5%
The expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model will be 16.5%.
Answer:
16.5%
Explanation:
A multi-factor model can be used to explain either an individual security or a portfolio of securities. It does so by comparing two or more factors to analyze relationships between variables and the resulting performance.
DATA
Risk Free rate = Rf = 7%
risk premium on Factor1 = F1 = 1%
Beta (Factor 1) = 1.25
risk premium on Factor2 = F2 = 7%
Beta (Factor 1) = 2
Expected Return = Rf + (Beta1 x F1) + (Beta2 * F2)
Expected Return = 7% + (0.75 x 1%) + (1.25 x 7%)
Expected Return = 0.07 + 0.0075 + 0.0875
Expected Return = 0.165 or 16.5%
Managers should make marketing decisions in the light of their own knowledge and experience instead of viewing research reports as the final answer to their problems because:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
b. decisions based on marketing research reports are highly risky.
c. there is no possibility that marketing research will be affected by researcher bias.
d. marketing research is not a systematic process for obtaining information.
Answer:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
Explanation:
Marketing research is highly effective as a tool for guiding marketing decisions, but it is necessary for the manager to rely on making decisions not only through research, but also due to his conceptual skills of seeing the organization in a systematic way, where there is a much greater breadth and more complex factors than just the information found through marketing research. The set of the manager's vision, experiences, analyzes and indicators is important for the most adequate assessment so that organizational marketing decisions are effective and achieve the company's objective.
Therefore, it is correct to state that the number of factors included in a marketing research study is not exhaustive.

Formation of Corporation with Transfer of Property from Several Shareholders at Different Times (LO. 1, 7)Jane, Jon, and Clyde incorporate their respective businesses and form Starling Corporation. On March 1 of the current year, Jane exchanges her property (basis of $50,000 and fair market value of $150,000) for 150 shares in Starling Corporation. On April 15, Jon exchanges his property (basis of $70,000 and fair market value of $500,000) for 500 shares in Starling. On May 10, Clyde transfers his property (basis of $90,000 and fair market value of $350,000) for 350 shares in Starling.a. If the three exchanges are part of a pre-arranged plan, who will recognize a gain on the exchanges?SelectOnly ClydeOnly JaneAll of the partiesNone of the partiesCorrect 1 of Item 1.b. Now assume that Jane and Jon exchanged their property for stock four years ago, while Clyde transfers his property for 350 shares in the current year. Clyde's transfer is not part of a pre-arranged plan with Jane and Jon to incorporate their businesses.Clyde will recognize a gain of $ on the transfer.c. Returning to the original facts, assume the property that Clyde contributes has a basis of $490,000 (instead of $90,000). Why would it be better from a tax perspective for Clyde to wait to transfer his property rather than be a part of Jane's and Jon's transfers?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. If the three exchanges are part of a pre-arranged plan, it should be noted that none of them will recognize a gain on the exchanges. Here, my the non-recognition provision applies.
b. Based on the scenario in the question, Clyde will recognize a gain of the amount of the difference between the market value and the basis. This will be:
= $350,000 – $90,000
= $260,000
c. This is because Clyde's loss will be recognized. The loss here will be: = $350,000 - $490,000 = -$140,000.
Coronado Industries sells 50000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350000 and net income is $100000. What should be reported as variable expenses in the CVP income statement?
Answer:
Total variable cost= $200,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coronado Industries sells 50,000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350,000 and net income is $100,000.
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= net income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 100,000 + 350,000
Total contribution margin= $450,000
Now, we can calculate the total variable costs:
Total variable cost= Sales - total contribution margin
Total variable cost= 50,000*13 - 450,000
Total variable cost= 200,000
In 2009, an 1893 Morgan silver dollar sold for $6,450. Required: What was the rate of return on this investment? (Do not include the percent sign (%). Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Answer: 7.86%
Explanation:
Using the Future Value formula;
= Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
The question is looking for the rate so making that the subject would be;
Assuming the car was $1 in 1893,
And n = 2009 - 1893 = 116 years
FV = Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
( 1 + r)^n = FV/ Amount
1 ^n + r^n = FV / Amount
r = n√((FV/ Amount) / 1^n)
r = n√(FV/ Amount)
r = 116√(6,450/ 1)
= 1.07855
Subtract 1 for the percentage;
= 1.07855 - 1
= 7.86%
Your boss would like your help on a marketing research project he is conducting on the relationship between the price of soup and the quantity of soup supplied. He hands you the following document:
Price of Soup Quantity of Soup Supplied
0.50 750
0.75 1,000
1.00 1,500
1.25 2,000
Your task is to take this blank and construct a graphical representation of the data. In doing so, you determine that as the price of soup rises, the quantity of soup supplied increases. This confirms the blank.
For both blanks, the choices are supply curve, quantity of soup supplied, supply schedule, and law of supply. I got law of supply for the first blank, and supply curve for the second blank and I wanted to make sure if I was correct.
Answer:
Your task is to take this supply schedule and construct a graphical representation of the data. In doing so, you determine that as the price of soup rises, the quantity of soup supplied increases. This confirms the law of supply.
Explanation:
We draw the supply curve being X-axis the quantity and Y-axis the Price.
The date to construct this representation is in the supply schedule.
This confirms the "law of supply" which states that as the price of a good icnrases the willingess to produce more units of that good increases as there is higher revenue.

Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2015:
Allister Barone
Inventory $50,000 $300,000
Sales 1,000,000 8,00,000
Investment income Not given
Cost of goods sold 500,000 400,000
Operating expenses 230,000 300,000
Allister acquired 90 percent of Barone in January 2020. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $66,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a six-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2021, Barone sells inventory costing $135,000 to Allister for $190,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end.
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2015:
a. Inventory
b. Sales
c. Cost of Goods Sold
d. Operating Expenses
e. Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Answer:
a. $344,500
b. $1,610,000
c. $405,500
d. $530,000
e. $9,550 loss
Explanation:
First, Eliminate the Intragroup transactions as follows :
Elimination Journal for the Intragroup Sale :
Sales (Barone) $190,000 (debit)
Cost of Sales (Allister) $190,000 (credit)
Elimination of unrealized profit in closing inventory :
Cost of Sales (Barone) $5,500 (debit)
Inventory (Allister) $5,500 (credit)
Unrealized Profit in Inventory ($190,000 - $135,000) × 10% = $5,500
Then, Consolidate the Financial Statements taking into account the elimination journals
Note : Consolidation is 100% of Parent + 100% of Subsidiary.
Note : A firm that is exercising control (> 50% Voting Rights) is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 3.
Consolidated Income Statement
Sales (1,000,000 + 8,00,000 - $190,000) $1,610,000
Cost of Sales ( $500,000 + 400,000 - $190,000 + $5,500) ($715,500)
Gross Profit $894,500
Less Operating Expenses ($230,000 + $300,000) ($530,000)
Net Income $364,500
Consolidated Financial Statement (Extract)
Inventory ($50,000 + $300,000 - $5,500) $344,500
Subsidiary Profit
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = Net Subsidiary Income × % Non Controlling Interest
Net Subsidiary Income - Barone
Sales (800,000 - 190,000) $610,000
Less Cost of Sales ( 400,000 + 5,500) ($405,500)
Gross Profit $204,500
Less Operating Expenses ($300,000)
Net Income/ (loss) ($95,500)
Therefore,
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = ($95,500) × 10%
= $9,550 loss

You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 260,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $51 per share. There are currently 5 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board
Answer:
$2,210,051
Explanation:
The computation of the cost that would be guaranteed is shown below:
first find the number of shares controlled which is
= (S x N) ÷ (D + 1) ] + 1
Where,
S = the total number of shares
N = the number of directors required
D = total number of directors i.e. elected
So,
= (260,000 × 1) ÷ (5 + 1) + 1
= 43,334
Now the cost is
= 43,334 × $51
= $2,210,051

How much will the company have to receive in annual payments for 4 years, provided it will also receive a final lump sum payment after 4 years in the amount of $800,000? The MARR is 10% per year on its investment
Answer:
We are going to receive annual payment of $395,471
Explanation:
We solve for the present value of the lump-sum today:

Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. In addition to trade accounts payable, many companies have other types of current liabilities. These include amounts withheld from employees' pay, sales and other taxes payable, deposits, and other accrued liabilities.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
Companies have many different types of current liabilities. These can include various taxes payable (income tax, sales tax, payroll tax), accrued amounts for salary, vacation or other benefits, and estimates such as accrued utilities and warranty. To adhere to the concept of the matching principle, companies must estimate the amount of their other liabilities.
1. Federal anid state governments do not specily the exact______to be maint, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the govenment are considered to be a(n)______.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)______of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and______ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically______in number.
Answer:
1. Federal and state governments do not specify the exact__number of accounts____to be maintained, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the government are considered to be a(n)_liability_____.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)_sample_____of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and__compare____ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically_numerous_____in number.
Explanation:
Even Federal and State governments and business organizations apply the matching principle of the generally accepted accounting principles. The principle requires that revenues are matched to the expenses that are incurred in generating them and vice versa. The purpose is to present a balance view of financial performance and position of the reporting entity. For this reason, who expenses may not be actually paid for and they are recognized while some that have been paid for are not. The same rule applies to the revenue side.
Lambert Company acquired machinery costing $110,000 on January 2, 2019. At that time, Lambert estimated that the useful life of the equipment was 6 years and that the residual value would be $15,000 at the end of its useful life. Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2019, 2020, and 2021 using the:
Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2016, 2017, and 2018 using the a. Straight-line method b. Double-declining balance method C. Assume that on January 2, 2018, Lambert revised its estimate of the useful life to 7 years and changed its estimate of the residual value to $ 10,000. What effect would this have on depreciation expense in 2018 for each of the above depreciation methods?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
(a) Under straight-line method,
We have depreciation expense to be (cost - residual value) ÷ No of years =
=> ($110,000 - $15,000) ÷ 6 years = $15,833 yearly depreciation expense.
Hence, the year depreciation expense of $15,833 is applicable to all the Years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Therefore, sum of depreciation for all the three years is calculated as
=> $15,833 * 3 years = $47,499.
(b) Under the double-declining method
We have = 2 * SLDP * BV
Where SLDP = Straight - Line Depreciation Percentage
BV = Book value
Hence, SLDP is 100% ÷ 6 years = 16.67%,
Thus, 16.67% * 2 => 33.33%
Therefore, Year 2016, 33.33% * $110,000 = $36,663
For Year 2017, 33.33% * $73,337 ($110,000 - $36,663) = $24,443
For Year 2018, 33.33% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $16,296
Adding all the three Years together => 2016 to 2018, => $77,402
(c) Given that after 2 years, the revised estimated useful life becomes 7 years and the residual value is $10,000, depreciation would be calculated as follows:
Under the straight-line method,
NBV = Net Book Value, at the end of 2017 is: $110,000 - $15,833 * 2 years = $78,334
Depreciation expense is therefore: ($78,334 - $10,000) ÷ 7 years = $9,762 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Also,
Under the double-declining method,
SLDP is 100% ÷ 7 years = 14.29%, * 2 => 28.57%.
For Year 2018,
28.57% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $13,969 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
the requirements are:
calculate depreciation expense using straight line, double depreciation, sum of the years' digits methods
straight line depreciation:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
depreciation expense per yer = $95,000 / 6 = $15,833.33
depreciation expense 2019 = $15,833depreciation expense 2020 = $15,833depreciation expense 2021 = $15,834double declining balance:
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 2/6 = $36,667depreciation expense 2020 = ($110,000 - $36,667) x 2/6 = $24,444depreciation expense 2021 = ($73,333 - $24,444) x 2/6 = $16,296sum of the years' digits method:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
sum of years = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 years
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 6/21 = $31,429depreciation expense 2020 = $110,000 x 5/21 = $26,190depreciation expense 2021 = $110,000 x 4/21 = $20,952Firms often seek to borrow money to expand their capital stock, and the price they pay for the money is the interest rate. What happens to quantity of money demanded if the interest rate increases
Answer:
When interest rate rises, the quantity of money demanded reduces
Explanation:
As interest rate increases firms seeking to borrow money for capital stock expansion are likely not going to go ahead with it. The reason is simply because, interest rate and money demanded have an inverse relationship. As interest rate rises money demanded falls because it means that for any amount of money borrowed the interest rate attached to it is higher making the cost of borrowing heavier on the borrower.
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning versus outsourcing for each of these components (staff, computer servers, software licensing, and data storage)?
Answer:
Explanation below
Explanation:
Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.
Staff
When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.
When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.
There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team
What are the key factor(s) for success in this industry/market
Answer:
Strategic Focus (Leadership, Management, Planning) People (Personnel, Staff, Learning, Development) Operations (Processes, Work) Marketing (Customer Relations, Sales, Responsiveness)
Explanation:
Whether you're operating an established small business or just starting out, an effective, ongoing marketing strategy is vital. But marketing without a plan will not only waste time and money; it may alienate your customers and stall the growth of your business.
To match your marketing strategies to the needs and expectations of your target customers and ensure that your business continues to grow, start by identifying your key success factors.
Key success factors (or KSF) are business strategies that are critical to a successful relationship with your customers.
Key success factors are decided by the needs and preferences of your market and customers, not by your business. However, consumers aren't going to tell you what those KSF are. Discovering your key success factors requires researching your customers to understand who they are, what they want from your company, and what prompts them to make a purchase.
A business generally has three to five key success factors that it needs to focus on to achieve its goals. Key success factors also may relate to areas of weakness that you must overcome to create a stronger relationship with your customers.
Once you understand and begin using your key success factors, they become part of your brand and business style.
Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:
Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
Here is a paraphrased version of the lobbyist's claim and it is from here that we get our answer.
"He claims that this industry in question is new and currently cannot compete with foreign industry".
What this tells us is that this industry in question is an infant industry. An infant industry is a new industry yet to be past it's developmental stage and which cannot be compete yet with other established industries.

James Dodgsen is a student in a graduate course in business. The professor in the course has given Dodgsen and his classmates a surprise quiz in class. Dodgsen did not do the reading for class that day because he had been grading papers as part of his TA position. He has been prepared for every other class that semester. As he glances as the quiz questions, he realizes that he does not know any of the answers. However, he sees that Jane Frampton, the student who sits next to him, is well prepared and answering the questions with great ease. He can see her answers because of her large, block-style printing. Dodgsen copies her answers.
a. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because the pop quiz was unfair.
b. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because he was fulfilling his TA responsibilities instead of preparing for class.
c. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers if he intends to read the material eventually.
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Answer:
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Explanation:
Looking at the scenario in the question above, it is possible to say that James Dodgsen was dishonest in copying Jane's responses.
This question leads us to the conclusion that Dodgen's schedule lacked organization. As much as he was prepared for the other classes and having just coincided with a surprise test when he couldn't find time to study the content of that class specifically, there is a problem looking at his classmate's answers when the test given by the teacher was individual guidance.
The organization of the agenda is essential for a student of business administration, since the corporate environment consists of the functions of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, therefore there must be established times for each task of daily fulfillment, whether in a personal or professional environment. , so that there is a greater possibility of fulfilling the essential tasks and the established objectives are properly achieved

Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?
Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.
Explanation:
The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.
The section of a car residential purchase agreement that separates it into three sections would be:
Section 9C
The section titled 9C functions to separate the property purchase provisions into three varied divisions. These divisions include mediation followed by arbitration of disputes, and the external terms that fulfill the remaining ones.The other options are present in order to fulfill if either of them fails to resolve the dispute.Thus, "section 9C" is the correct answer.

2. Incurred direct labor costs of $46 million.
3. Determined that manufacturing overhead was $76 million.
4. Transferred 90 percent of the materials purchased to work-in-process.
5. Completed work on 75 percent of the work-in-process. Costs are assigned equally across all work-in-process.
6. The inventory accounts have no beginning balances. All costs incurred were debited to the appropriate account and credited to Accounts Payable.
Required:
Give the amounts for the following items in the Work-in-process account: (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your final answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Transfers-In ____ Million
Transfers-Out ______ Million
Ending Balance _____ Million
Answer:
A. Transfer -In= $212,000,000
B. Transfer-Out = $159,000,000
C. Ending balance= $53,000,000
Explanation:
a) Calculation for Transfers-In
Transfer -In=$46,000,000 + $76,000,000 + (.90× $100,000,000)
Transfer -In=$46,000,000 + $76,000,000 + $90,000,000
Transfer -In= $212,000,000
b) Calculation for Transfer-Out
Transfer-Out=.75 × $212,000,000
Transfer-Out = $159,000,000
c) Calculation for the ending balance
Using this formula
Ending balance=Transfer -In-Transfer-Out
Let plug in the formula
Ending balance= $212,000,000 - $159,000,000 Ending balance= $53,000,000

After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the used car he wants. He likes its $10,000 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $2,000 cash for a down payment, so he needs an $8,000 loan. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates. That is, during the life of the loan, interest is paid on the full amount borrowed even though a portion of the principal has been paid back. Richard borrows $8,000 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 11 percent. What is the total interest on Richard’s loan? What is the total cost of the car? What is the monthly payment? What is the annual percentage rate (APR)?
Answer:
A. $3,520
B. $13,520
C. $240 monthly
D. 21.55%
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the total interest
Using this formula
Interest = (Principal) (Rate) (Time)
Let plug in the formula
Interest = (8000)(.11)(4)
Interest = $3,520
B. Calculation for the total cost of the car
Using this formula
Total Cost = Down Payment + Principal amount Borrowed + Interest amount
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost = $2,000 + $8,000 + $3,520
Total Cost = $13,520
C. Calculation for the monthly payment
Using this formula
Monthly Payment = (Principal amount Borrowed + Total interest amount ) / Total number of payments
Monthly Payment = ($8,000 + $3,520) / 48
Monthly Payment=$11,520/48
Monthly Payment=$240 monthly
Note 4-year * 12 months will give us 48months
D. Calculation for the annual percentage rate (APR) using this formula
APR= (2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]
Let plug in the formula
APR = (2 × 12 × $3,520) / [$8,000 × (48+1)]
APR =$84,480/$8,000×49
APR=$84,480/$392,000
APR=0.2155×100
APR= 21.55%
