Four years ago, you borrowed $300,000 for a ten-year period from
ABC Bank at a stated interest rate of 10% p.a. with interest
compounded quarterly. You have been making equal, quarterly
payments on the loan during this time and now wish to repay the
loan in full. The amount that you need to repay the bank today is
closest to:
4. Your uncle has had a standard 30-year FRM
with a 5% interest rate for 2 years (24 months); the original
principal was $200,000. One day he calls you up, very excitedly:
“My bank offered to refinance my mortgage to a new 30-year ARM with
a 2.5% interest rate. This is awesome – since the interest rate is
cut in half, my monthly payment will also be cut in half!”
A. Is the second part of his statement correct?

On January 2017, BobCat Inc. issued $300,000 seven year bonds
with 8% stated interest paid semiannually. Effective interest rate
was 7%. How much cash did BobCat Inc. received as a result of the
bond issuance and what was the journal entry?
Assume you barrow $100,000 for a year and the stated interest
rate is 5 percent. The loan will be st up as an installment loan
with monthly payment. 1) What is the annual percentage rate? 2)
Discuss why the annual percentage rate is different then the stated
interest rate.
Suppose you inherit $5 million from your uncle. The interest
rate on Australian government bonds is 5% while Peruvian government
bonds carry an interest rate of 14%. Also suppose that you expect
the Peruvian currency (the new sol) to depreciate by 11% relative
to the Aussie dollar. Assuming you do not care about uncertainty,
which bond should you purchase?
A.
Australian bond
B.
You are indifferent between the two
C.
Peruvian bond

Suppose that a firm has borrowed $1000 in the current year at a
10% interest rate, with a commitment to repay the loan (principal
and interest) in equal annual installments over the following five
years. Calculate:
the amount of the annual repayment;
the stream of interest payments which can be entered in the tax
calculation of the private benefit-cost analysis.
Answer:
(i)
$263.80
(ii) year 1
= $100; year 2 = $83.62; year 3 = $65.60; year 4 = $45.78;...
Suppose you borrowed $1,000. The interest rate is 5% per
year.
You are supposed to payoff the principal in equal semi-annual
payments in five years along with the interest rate payments. What
are your semi-annual payments?
Now assume that you are supposed to make equal semi-annual
payments in the form of annuities for the five years.
Draw the amortization table for the two options.
