Mex, Inc. recently purchased a new machine costing $300,000. The firm financed this purchase at 6% interest with monthly payments of $5,799.84. How many years will it take the firm to pay off this debt?
The number of years is computed as follows:
Plug the below variables in the financial calculator as follows:
PV = - 300,000
FV = 0
PMT = 5,799.84
I/Y = 0.50 (6 / 12)
Finally press CPT and then N. It will give N equal to 60 months. So, the number of years will be as follows:
= 60 / 12
= 5 years
