- Del Hawley, owner of Hawleys Hardware, is negotiating with First City Bank for a 1-year loan of 50,000. First City has offered Hawley the alternatives listed here. Calculate the effective annual interest rate for each alternative. Which alternative has the lowest effective annual interest rate? a. A 12% annual rate on a simple interest loan, with no compensating balance required and interest due at the end of the year b. A 9% annual rate on a simple interest loan, with a 20% compensating balance required and interest due at the end of the year c. An 8.75% annual rate on a discounted loan, with a 15% compensating balance d. Interest figured as 8% of the 50,000 amount, payable at the end of the year, but with the loan amount repayable in monthly installments during the yeararrow_forwardYou borrow $1,000 from the bank and agree to repay the loan over the next year in 12 equal monthly payments of $90. However, the bank also charges you a loan initiation fee of $18, which is taken out of the initial proceeds of the loan. What is the effective annual interest rate on the loan, taking account of the impact of the initiation fee? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Use a financial calculator or Excel. Effective annual interest rate 1.49 %arrow_forwardSuppose that you owe $2,000 on a credit card that charges 18% APR and you pay either the minimum 10% or $20, whichever is higher, every month. How long will it take you to eliminate the debt? Assume that the bank uses the previous-balance method to calculate your interest, meaning that the bank does not subtract the amount of your payment from the beginning balance but charges you interest on the previous balance.arrow_forward
- Lowlife Company defaulted on a $250,000 loan that was due on December 31, 2018. The bank has agreed toallow Lowlife to repay the $250,000 by making a series of equal annual payments beginning on December 31,2019.Required:1. Calculate the required annual payment if the bank’s interest rate is 10% and four payments are to be made.2. Calculate the required annual payment if the bank’s interest rate is 8% and five payments are to be made.3. If the bank’s interest rate is 10%, how many annual payments of $51,351 would be required to repay the debt?4. If three payments of $104,087 are to be made, what interest rate is the bank charging Lowlife?arrow_forwardSureWin Company owes an amount of debt to a bank and the bank proposed the following annual payments to pay off the debt. Year 0 (Today): 20,000 Year 1: 24,000; Year 2: 30,000; Year 3: 30,000; Year 4: 35,000; (1) If the appropriate interest rate that bank is charging is APR 6% annual compounding, what would be the amount to debt owed today? (2) If SureWin can negotiate with the bank to pay yearly equal instalments over 4 years starting from the end of year 1 with the same 6% annual interest rate, what would be the amount of yearly payment? (3) If the bank accepts SureWin proposal in (2), what would be the interest amount paid to the bank in the first year?arrow_forwardYou borrow $1,000 from the bank and agree to repay the loan over the next year in 12 equal monthly payments of $90. However, the bank also charges you a loan initiation fee of $20 which is taken out of the initial proceeds of the loan. Taking into account the impact of the initiation fee, what is the effective annual interest rate on the loan?arrow_forward
- A $200,000 loan amortized over 14 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $21,215.85 to completely remove the loan when interest is charged on the unrecovered balance of the principal. If interest is charged on the original principal instead of the unrecovered balance, what is the loan balance after 14 years provided the same $21,215.85 payments are made each year?arrow_forwardOn December 31, 2021, London Bank granted a P5,000,000 loan to a borrower with 10% stated rate payable annually and maturing in 5 years. The loan was discounted at the market interest rate of 12%. Unfortunately, the financial condition of the borrower worsened because of lower revenue. On December 31, 2023, the bank determined that the borrower would pay back only P3,000,000 of the principal at maturity. However, it was considered likely that interest would continue to be paid on the P5,000,000 loan. The present value of 1 at 12% is .57 for five periods and .71 for three periods. The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 12% is 3.60 for five periods and 2.40 for three periods. What is the impairment loss to be recognized on December 31, 2023? a. 2,000,000 O b. 1,442,960 O c. 1,922,960 O d. 1,670,000arrow_forwardA $200,000 loan amortized over 15 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $21,215.85 to completely remove the loan when interest is charged on the unrecovered balance of the principal.

- Southwestern Bank offers to lend you $55,000 at a nominal rate of 6.40%, compounded monthly. The loan (principal plus interest) must be repaid at the end of the year. Woodburn Bank also offers to lend you the $55,000, but it will charge an annual rate of 7.2%, with no interest due until the end of the year. How much higher or lower is the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern?

The bank has offered to allow Taggart Transcontinental to skip making the next two payments in lieu of making one large payment at the end of the loan's term in three years. If the interest rate on the loan is 6%, then the final payment that the bank will require to make Taggart Transcontinental indifferent between the two forms of payments is closest to:arrow_forwardA payday loan is structured to obscure the true interest rate you are paying.
