MidCoast Airlines provides charter airplane services. In October, when the company is operating at 60% of its capacity, it receives a
bid from the local college. The college is organizing a trip for a student group. The college budgeted only $64,000 for round-trip
airfare. MidCoast Airlines normally charges between $84,000 and $94,000 for such service. MidCoast determines its total cost for the
round-trip flight to Washington to be $82,400, which consists of the following.

The SVS is intended to improve the pilots’ situational awareness when visibility is impaired. The local (and only) banker makes this statement: “We can loan you $160,000 at a very favorable rate of 12% per year for a five-year loan. However, to secure this loan, you must agree to establish a checking account (with no interest) in which the minimum average balance is $32,000. In addition, your interest payments are due at the end of each year, and the principal will be repaid in a lump-sum amount at the end of year five.” What is the true effective annual interest rate being charged?arrow_forwardTemporary Housing Services Incorporated (THSI) is considering a project that involves setting up a temporary housing facility in an area recently damaged by a hurricane.
