Biochemical Corp. requires $720,000 in financing over the next three years. The firm can borrow the funds for three years at 10.20 percent interest per year. The CEO decides to do a forecast and predicts that if she utilizes short-term financing instead, she will pay 8.50 percent interest in the first year, 12.90 percent interest in the second year, and 9.75 percent interest in the third year. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.Required:
a. Determine the total interest cost under each plan.
b. Which plan is less costly?

i. Short-tem variable-rate plan
ii. Long-term fixed-rate plarn

Answers

Answer:

Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00  

Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00  

The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense

Explanation:

Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years

principal amount is $720,000

interest rate is 10.20%

total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00  

Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00  

EB17. LO 7.5The production cost for UV protective sunglasses is $5.50 per unit and fixed costs are $19,400 per month. How much is the favorable or unfavorable variance if 14,000 units were produced for a total of $97,000?

Answers

Answer:

$600 unfavorable

Explanation:

The budgeted cost of producing 14,000 units at $5.50 per unit and with fixed costs of $19,400 is:

B = 14,000*5.50 + 19,400\nB= \$96,400

The variance is given by subtracting the budgeted cost by the actual cost ($97,000):

V= \$96,400 - \$97,000\nV= -\$600

Since the variance is negative, the variance is unfavorable

c. Joe will enforce his property rights and not allow Plastics to pollute.
d. Plastics will use its property rights to continue polluting.

Answers

If Joe owns the rights to the river will enforce his property rights and not allow Plastics to pollute and clean the pollution. Plastic is breaking his rights on the river

In this scenario Joe has benefit for 20,000

and Plastic losses for 12,000

2.- If Plastic own the rights to the river Joe will pay Plastics $15,000 to not pollute. This will make Plastic earn money for cleaning the river and Joe gain 5,000 incremental benefit

Explanation:

(A) Joe has legal claims, so It will used before any economic options

(B) Joe doesn't have legal claims, but It notices that a good offer make both parties win.

Plastic will receive 15,000 dollars to clean the river, which has cost of 12,000 realizing a net gain of 3,000

While Joe estimated a marginal benefit of 5,000 after paying to Plastic to clean the river, (20,000 benefit - 15,000 cost

A call option on MassComputer Corp. is trading with a strike price of $100 and an expiration date on November 18th at 4 pm in the afternoon. The premium paid on the call is $7.55. What is the net profit or loss from buying the call just prior to 4 pm on November 18 if at this time the stock price per share of MassComputer is:

Answers

The net profit or loss from buying the call should be $3.17 and -$7.55.

Calculation of stock price per share:

here, a Stock price higher than the strike price option will be exercised.

Net profit = Stock price - Strike price - Option premium

= $110.72 - $100 - $7.55

Net profit = $3.17

Stock price is lower than the strike price option will fail.

Net profit = Stock price - Strike price - Option premium

= 0 - $7.55

Net profit(loss) = -$7.55
