Answer 1

1. Cash Adv. = 0.97*25000 + 0.95*(102000-25000) = 24,250 + 73,150 +
0.03*102000 = $100,460.

2. Purchase price = $P.
lOAN Amount = $0.8P.
I = 0.8P*.09*(1/12) = $265.
0.006P = 265,
P = $44,166.67 = Purchase price.

3. Selling price = $X.
Commmission = $0.07X.

X - 0.07X - 23,400 -512 = $6500,
0.93X - 23,912 = 6500,
0.93X = 30,412,
X = 32,701.08.

4. Po - 0.025*3Po = $82,500,
0.925Po = 82,500,
Po = $89,189.19. = Initial value.

5. C=$300 + 0.045(G - $200,000)=$4725.
300 + 0.045G - 9000 = 4725,
G = $298,333.33 = Gross income.

6. Po + 0.2Po = $150,000,
1.2Po = 150,000,
Po = $125,000. = Original price.
