3. Which of the following reasons best describes why a seller adds a finance charge to the cash price when calculating the installment price?

Explanation

A seller adds a finance charge to the cash price when calculating the installment price in order to cover the extra cost of doing business on the installment plan. This includes expenses such as administrative costs, credit checks, and potential defaults on payments. By adding a finance charge, the seller ensures that they are able to recoup these additional costs associated with offering financing options to customers.

5. Which type of employee is most likely to earn a base salary plus commission?

Explanation

A salesperson is most likely to earn a base salary plus commission because their job primarily involves selling products or services. Commission is a common form of incentive for salespeople, where they earn a percentage of the sales they generate. This motivates them to work harder and sell more, as their earnings are directly tied to their performance. In addition to the base salary, commission provides an opportunity for salespeople to earn additional income based on their sales achievements.

7. Which of the following describes how to calculate net pay?

Explanation

To calculate net pay, you need to subtract the total deductions from the gross pay. Net pay is the amount of money an individual receives after all deductions such as taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions have been taken out. Subtracting the total deductions from the gross pay gives you the final amount that the individual will actually receive as their take-home pay.

Explanation

A check register is a document used to keep track of transactions made through a checking account. It typically includes headings such as check number, balance, and transaction.

10. ​Sam buys a Nissan Altima for $27,735.00 at 7% interest on a 9 year loan, his monthly payment will be: $346.86. What will the actual cost be to own the car?

Explanation

The actual cost to own the car will be higher than the purchase price due to the interest on the loan. To calculate the actual cost, we need to multiply the monthly payment by the number of months in the loan term. In this case, the loan term is 9 years, which is equivalent to 108 months. Therefore, the actual cost to own the car will be $346.86 x 108 = $37,460.88.

11. Jenny is having a party. A bowl of jello serves 12 people. She is expecting 78 guests. How many bowls of jello do I need to buy?

Explanation

To calculate the number of bowls of jello needed, we divide the total number of guests by the number of people a bowl of jello serves. In this case, 78 guests divided by 12 people per bowl equals 6.5. Since we cannot have a fraction of a bowl, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Jenny needs to buy 7 bowls of jello.

Submit
12. To calculate an employee's overtime rate

Explanation

To calculate an employee's overtime rate, you need to multiply the regular pay rate by 1.5. This is because overtime pay is typically 1.5 times the regular pay rate. Therefore, multiplying the regular pay rate by 1.5 will give you the correct overtime rate for the employee.

13. Todd Smith paid $885.60 in interest on a 12-month note for $8,200. What rate of interest did Todd pay on the note?

Explanation

Todd Smith paid $885.60 in interest on a 12-month note for $8,200. To find the rate of interest, we can use the formula: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time. Plugging in the given values, we have: 885.60 = 8200 x Rate x 1 year. Solving for the rate, we get Rate = 885.60 / (8200 x 1) = 0.108 = 10.8%. Therefore, Todd paid an interest rate of 10.8% on the note.

15. Which method are most companies LEAST likely to use to record the number of hours their employees work?

Explanation

Most companies are least likely to use the method of employees keeping track of their hours worked mentally. This is because it is a subjective and unreliable method, prone to errors and inaccuracies. Companies prefer more objective and accurate methods such as using magnetic stripe cards, time clocks, or time sheets, which provide a more precise record of the number of hours worked by employees.

Submit
16. Which of the following best describes how compound interest works?

Explanation

Compound interest is a concept where the interest is calculated not only on the initial principal amount but also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. This means that as time goes on, the interest earned becomes part of the principal and generates additional interest. In other words, the interest is compounded, leading to exponential growth of the investment or debt. Therefore, the correct answer is that interest is calculated from the previous interest along with the principal.

17. A deposit slip lists these items: (bills) 8 fifties, 22 twenties, 9 tens, 30 fives; (coins) 24 dimes, 18 nickels, 90 pennies; (checks) $45.67, $99.12. The depositor received no cash back. What total deposit was made?

Explanation

The correct answer is $1,228.99. This can be calculated by adding up the amounts of bills, coins, and checks listed in the deposit slip. The total amount of bills is $8x50 + 22x20 + 9x10 + 30x5 = $400 + $440 + $90 + $150 = $1,080. The total amount of coins is 24x0.10 + 18x0.05 + 90x0.01 = $2.40 + $0.90 + $0.90 = $4.20. The total amount of checks is $45.67 + $99.12 = $144.79. Adding these amounts together, $1,080 + $4.20 + $144.79 = $1,228.99, which is the total deposit made.

Submit
18. If the principal and the amount of interest for one year are known, the rate of interest can be found by

Explanation

To find the rate of interest, we need to divide the interest for one year by the principal. This is because the rate of interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal. By dividing the interest by the principal, we can determine what percentage of the principal the interest represents, which gives us the rate of interest.
