- Now assume that it is several years later. The brothers are concerned about the firm’s current credit terms of net 30, which means that contractors buying building products from the firm are not offered a discount and are supposed to pay the full amount in 30 days. Gross sales are now running $1,000,000 a year, and 80% (by dollar volume) of the firm’s paying customers generally pay the full amount on Day 30; the other 20% pay, on average, on Day 40. Of the firm’s gross sales, 2% ends up as bad-debt losses. The brothers are now considering a change in the firm’s credit policy. The change would entail: (1) changing the credit terms to 2/10, net 20, (2) employing stricter credit standards before granting credit, and (3) enforcing collections with greater vigor than in the past. Thus, cash customers and those paying within 10 days would receive a 2% discount, but all others would have to pay the full amount after only 20 days. The brothers believe the discount would both attract additional customers and encourage some existing customers to purchase more from the firm—after all, the discount amounts to a price reduction. Of course, these customers would take the discount and hence would pay in only 10 days. The net expected result is for sales to increase to $1,100,000; for 60% of the paying customers to take the discount and pay on the 10th day; for 30% to pay the full amount on Day 20; for 10% to pay late on Day 30; and for bad-debt losses to fall from 2% to 1% of gross sales. The firm’s operating cost ratio will remain unchanged at 75%, and its cost of carrying receivables will remain unchanged at 12%. To begin the analysis, describe the four variables that make up a firm’s credit policy and explain how each of them affects sales and collections.Otis Hopkins recently graduated from college and is evaluating two credit cards. Card A has an annual fee of $75 and an interest rate of 9 percent. Card B has no annual fee and an interest rate of 16 percent. Assuming that Otis intends to carry no balance and to pay off his charges in full each month, which card represents the better deal? If Otis expected to carry a significant balance from one month to the next, which card would be better ? Explain.Joey realizes that he has charged too much on his credit card and has racked up $4,300 in debt. If he can pay $125 each month and the card charges 18 percent APR (compounded monthly), how long will it take him to pay off the debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
- Phoebe realizes that she has charged too much on her credit card and has racked up $4,900 in debt. If she can pay $250 each month and the card charges 12 percent APR (compounded monthly), how long will it take her to pay off the debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Time to pay off the debt: — months.Darwin is a young entrepreneur trying to keep his business afloat. He has missed two payments to acreditor. The first was for $3,485 seven months ago, and the second was for $5,320 last month.Darwin has had discussions with his creditor, who is willing to accept $4,000 one month from now and asecond payment in full six months from now.If the agreed upon interest rate is 7.35% compounded monthly, what is the amount of the secondpayment?You have a credit card with an APR of 16%, compounded monthly, that has a balance of $7,000. You want to transfer this balance to a different card with an APR of 14.5%, compounded monthly. Assuming that you will make the minimum payments of $150 per month for either card, what transfer fee would make you ambivalent between transferring or not?
- Matt Wilson has decided to finally pay off his credit card. He currently owes $6,500 and he has determined that he can pay off $360.20 per month. The APR on the credit card is 11.95%, but interest is compounded weekly. How long will it take him to pay off his credit card?answer this fucking question or else because i really need this answer. John spends $600 using a new credit card. The credit card has a limit of $1,000 with a $35 late fee, a $35 over-limit fee, a 0% introductory APR for 12 months, and a 19.9% APR on purchases after the introductory period. If John does not use the card to purchase anything else, how much must he pay every month during the first year to avoid any fees? If he ends up with a balance of $30 after the first year, what charges will apply? like stop playing with me rn and answer this .-.Zoe Robinson has several credit cards, on which she is carrying a total current balance of $14,000. Her current cards charge her 12% per year. She is considering transferring this balance to a new card issued by a local bank. The bank advertises that, for a 3 percent fee, she can transfer her balance to a card that charges a 0 percent interest rate on transferred balances for the first 12 months. How much will Zoe save during the first twelve months if she transfers the balance?
- Big Sean is buying a new truck from Willie’s Auto Sales, the dealer is providing the financing and he uses the discount method. If borrows $40,000 at 9% for 48 months, how much is his monthly payment?Kenny realizes that he totally forgot about a credit card that he made some charges to a few months back. He checks the balance and sees that it has gone all the way up to about $1790 (charges, interest, late fees). Because of his late payments, the APR on the card is now at 19.98%. Further, the minimum payment on the card is now $30 every month. Considering that the current balance of the card is $1790 and the APR is 19.98% Calculate the monthly percentage rate and determine how much of the first $30 minimum payment would go towards interest and how much would go towards reducing the balance on the card.Suppose you owe $15,000 on a credit card that carries an APR of 24%. Because the balance is so high, you choose to stop charging and pay off the card. You can afford to make only the minimum monthly payment, which is 5% of the balance. Then your balance after t months is given by B = 15,000(1.02 ✕ 0.95)t dollars. How many payments will you have to make to get the balance below $200? (Enter the smallest such number of payments as an integer.)
