When he tried to pay the bill with his Mastercard credit card, he was told that the restaurant accepted only cash or American Express. His waiter suggested that he use the ATM across the street to withdraw cash using his credit card. Tim did as suggested and didn't pay attention to any fees until he received his credit card statement one month later. He was shocked to see the total fees (3.5 percent cash advance), and his APR was increased to 20.0 %. Given the cost of the meal ($150) plus the associated fees, how much did his meal cost him?

Last year, she paid him a fixed salary of $65,000, and her store made $120,000 in profits (not counting payment to her top manager). She suspected the store could do much better and feared the fixed salary was causing her top manager to shirk on the job. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $30,000 plus 15 percent of the store's profits. Since the change, the store is performing much better, and she forecasts profits this year to be $280,000 (again, not counting the payment to her top manager). Assuming the change in compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and that the forecast is accurate, (a) Which compensation method (the old one or the new one) will the manager prefer?

- Justin Granovsky, an assistant manager at a small retail shop in Morgantown, West Virginia, has an unusual amount of debt. He owes $5,400 to one bank, $1,800 to a clothing store, $2,700 to his credit union, and several hundred dollars to other stores and individuals. Justin is paying more than $460 per month on the three major obligations to pay them off when due in two years. He realized that his take-home pay of slightly more than $3,100 per month did not leave him with much excess cash. Justin discussed a different way of handling his major payments with his bank’s loan of-ficer. The officer suggested that Justin pool all of his debts and take out an $11,000 debt-consolidation loan for seven years at 14 percent interest. As a result, he would pay only $250 per month for all his debts. Justin seemed ecstatic over the idea. (a) Is Justin’s enthusiasm over the idea of a debt-consolidation loan justified? Why or why not? (b) Why can the bank offer such a “good deal” to Justin?…arrow_forwardJane James owns an appliance store. She usually receives $50,000 worth of appliances per month. She doesn't like to owe people money and always pays her bills on the day she receives the invoice. Someone told her that if she delayed payment, she could actually increase her profit because the money would be earning interest in her account.

She also found that she was earning 2 percent interest on the money she had in her money market savings account. If she delayed payment by the 10 days, how much additional interest would she earn for the year?

- Madeline is the sole proprietor of Maddie's Fine Art and wants to know whether she will have enough funds in her bank account to pay her bills over the next three months. She has $1,000 in her bank account after recently selling a painting, owes $500 to a vendor for paint and canvas, and expects an additional $500 in invoices in the next three months for other supplies. As her accountant, the best feedback you can give Madeline is: Assuming no additional sales over the next three months, Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 1.0 and therefore has the necessary liquidity to pay its vendors. Madeline will need to sell at least one more painting for $500 to cover the invoices due within the next three months as Maddie's Fine art has a current ratio of 0.5. Madeline should consult with a bankruptcy attorney because Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 0.75 and may not be able to pay any or all of its invoices within the next three months.
