Answer: The answer is trade deficit.
Explanation: Balance of trade is represented by net exports (exports minus imports) and is usually influenced by factors that affect international trade. Those factors inflation include: inflation, natural endowment, exchange rate, trade policy, pandemics (e.g., coronavirus).
A trade surplus occurs when the value of a nation's exports is more than the value of its imports. However, trade deficit occurs when the opposite happens.
Answer:
Ans. The effective annual interest rate charged on the loan is 12.99% effective annually. (Please see the attached excel spread sheet)
Explanation:
Hi, attached is the amortization table that I made for this case. Notice that there is a yellow and green cell, the yellow one is the result of using the "IRR" function of MS Excel which provides an effective monthly rate, since the payments are made every month, then we have to transform that monthly effective rate into an effective annual rate, this is the formula to use.

That is:

Which we round to 12.99% effective annually.
Finally, notice that I didnt use the payments to find the effective rate, I used the cash flow, that was because you didn´t receive all the 100K (the fee, remember?), you received $98,000.
Best of luck.
To complete the above question, please see below:
Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
<span>WACC 10.0% </span>
<span>Opportunity cost $100,000 </span>
<span>Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) $65,000 </span>
<span>Straight-line depreciation rate for equipment 33.333% </span>
<span>Annual sales revenues $123,000 </span>
<span>Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) $25,000 </span>
<span>Tax rate 35%
</span>
The answer is <span>12,271</span>
