a) Cash balance reduction= $399,000

b) Dollar return= $53.34

c) Maximum monthly charge end of each month = $1625.53

d) Maximum monthly charge beginning of the month = $1618.93

Explanation:

Given:

•Average daily collections = $133,000

• Daily required rate of return = 5%

a) To find the cash balance reduction, we have:

3days * $133,000 = $399,000

b) let's use the frormula:

=

= 0.00013368

Therefore, the dollar return will be:

$399,000 * 0.00013368 = $53.33833

Dollar return = $53.34

c) we need to find the monthly rate:

= 1.004074 - 1 = 0.004074

Max monthly charge at end of month wil be:

$399,000 * 0.004074 = $1625.526

d)

1.004074 - 1 = 0.004074

Max monthly charge at beginning of the month:

= $1618.9305

answer; purpose nondisclosure;

the answer is "b.the increased supply will create a surplus. "

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
