- The time value of money is used for many important financial decisions that could affect long-term goals. The interest rate you pay on a loan can affect the amount you pay each period. An advertised monthly lending rate of 9% is about 11% per year. This difference between an advertised rate and the annualized rate is based on finer TVM details that may be overlooked by borrowers. What practical TVM application would you expect to encounter in your future? Explain.arrow_forwardYour firm has an average receipt size of $90. A bank has approached you concerning a lockbox service that will decrease your total collection time by 2 days. You typically receive 9,100 checks per day. The daily interest rate is 0.019 percent.

Your bank, from whom you hope to obtain a loan, expresses concern that your discount rate is too low. How do you respond?arrow_forwardThe procedure banks use to compute continuously compounded interest is similar to the process we used to derive a differential equation. Suppose several banks claim to be giving 5% annual interest and that you have $1000 to deposit. A bank that compounds twice yearly really gives 2.5% interest twice. How much would you have after a year from this bank? How much better is this than a bank with no compounding?arrow_forward

You must also make additional investments in debtors but not in fixed machinery or other overheads by drawing on your credit line with a bank on which you expect to pay 12% per annum interest on amounts drawn. Your cost of sales has been 60% of sales. Additionally, marketing expenses are 25% of sales. If your tax rate is 25% by how much must your sales increase to make this change worthwhile?arrow_forward
