Answer:
They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.
Explanation:
It has been provided that RT earns 12% on his current investments and would not like to receive an interest rate of less than 12% on the loan he gives.
if RT gives a loan of $10,000 for one year, he would charge an interest rate of minimum 12%.
Interest = $10,000*0.12
= $1,200
RT requires $1,200 in interest.
It has been provided that Cynthia earns 8% on her investment.
If she borrows $10,000 and invests the amount for one year, she can earn 8% return on such amount.
Earning = $10,000*0.08
= $800
Cynthia is going to earn $800
RT requires a minimum of $1,200 as interest for 1-year loan he gives while Cynthia can pay a maximum of $10,000 as interest for 1-year loan she takes. there is mismatch between the minimum expectation to receive of lender and the maximum expectation to pay of borrower.
Therefore, They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.
