A seller has offered you a $1,000,000 interest-only 5 year loan at 6% (annual payments), when market interest rates on such loans are 8% (also interest only). Basing your decision on market values (discount using market rate), how much more should you be willing to pay for the property than you otherwise think it is worth, due to the financing offer?
A. Zero, by definition.
B. $26,497
C. $79,854
D. $98,412
The more that could be paid will be equal to the present value of value of less interest paid over the life of the loan
Difference in interest amount = 1,000,000*(8%-6%)
= $20,000
Present value of savings = 20,000*PVAF(8%, 5 years)
= 20,000*3.99271
=$79,854
Hence, the answer is c.
