1.) straight line method of amortization

2.) effective interest method of amortization

Question1

A university lecturer is interested in comparing the engagement levels of first-year statistics students. In a previous nation-wide study, engagement levels of all university students were found to be normally distributed, with µ=60.00. The lecturer collects a random sample of 50 first-year students and the following statistics are obtained: M=65.43, SD=7.82.

What statistical procedure should be used, to test whether there is a significant mean difference in engagement levels between the lecturer’s first year students and the population average?

Question 2

A university lecturer is interested in comparing the enthusiasm levels of first-year statistics students. In a previous nation-wide study, enthusiasm levels were found to be normally distributed, with µ=70.00, σ=5.00. The lecturer collects a convenience sample of 50 first-year students and finds that her students have a mean enthusiasm level equal to 65.24.

What statistical procedure should be used, to test whether there is a significant mean difference in enthusiasm levels between the lecturer’s first year students and the population average?

Question 3

An organisational psychologist hypothesised that employee IQ levels of major Australian banks differ significantly to the general population. To test this, he performed a Z-test. Listed below are the IQ scores of 20 random employees:

105, 98, 103, 115,116,118,121,132,95,105,108,132,114,118,126,127,127,124,119,138.

If IQ scores are normally distributed, with µ=100, σ=15, what is the Z-statistic? Use these figures to calculate and select the correct the Z-statistic below.

Alicia (first time home buyer) is looking to buy one bed-room condo, and she needs your advice on the maximum price she can afford to offer for her condo purchase when she buys one. She plans to use her savings to pay for the down payment at 20% of purchase amount, and she will get a mortgage for the remaining.

The following info is available: • Mortgage interest rate: 2.40% compounded semi-annually (25-year mortgage amortization with fixed rate for 5 years with same monthly mortgage payment) • Alicia’s annual income is CAD 90,000. • Alicia qualifies for Gross Debt Ratio (GDS) of 35%, and with this GDS ratio she can afford CAD 2,250 for her monthly mortgage payment. •

Financial institutions use stress test rate of 4.94% to qualify for maximum mortgage loan one can borrow.

1. What maximum price Alicia can afford to offer for her condo purchase, assuming there is no stress test.

2. If Alicia buys a condo with her maximum amount calculated in 1, what would be the total interest for the first year?

3. Do you think stress test is helpful for Alicia? Explain.

A company is negotiating loan terms with a bank. The company would like to purchase a property for $2.5 million. The property is projected to produce a first-year NOI of $180,000. Loan: The bank is willing to allow the loan to negatively amortize; however, the loan will need to be paid back at the end of the four-year period. Because of the risky nature of such loan, the bank will allow a 65 percent LTV loan on the property at the time of its purchase. It also requires a DCR in the first year of at 1.30. The contract (or the accrual) rate of interest on the loan is 12 percent. All loan payments are to be made monthly.

a. Show the loan amortization schedule for the next four years: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4, no months. Show and explain all calculations.

b. If the property value does not change, what will the loan-to-value ratio be at the end of the four-year period? Calculate. Show and explain all calculations.

c. Since the loan balance will be due in four years, let’s say the bank would like to make sure that the LTV at that time does not exceed 70 percent. To make this happen, how should the company counter-offer the asking price? Calculate the counter-offer price. Show and explain all calculations.

XYZ Company makes a lump-sum purchase of several assets on January 1 at a total cash price of $800,000. The estimated market values of the purchased assets are building, $536,250; land, $302,250; land improvements, $68,250; and four vehicles, $68,250.

1A. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased.

1B. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase.

Options for general journal: accumulated amortization, accumulated depletion, accumulated depreciation, amortization expense, building, cash, depletion expense, depreciation expense, equipment, gain on sale of equipment, goodwill, impairment loss, land, land improvements, leasehold improvements.

2. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the building using the straight-line method, assuming a 15-year life and a $30,000 salvage value. Round answer to the nearest whole dollar.

3. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the land improvements assuming a five-year life and double-declining-balance depreciation.
