Answer:
Mildred's Brewing Corp.
Monthly Payment for each loan for November:
a) Simple Interest = $55,000/12
= $4,583
b) Value Add-on interest monthly payment
= $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
Explanation:
a) Data:
Bank loan = $500,000
Terms by bank one:
Simple interest of 11% paid monthly
Loan principal to be repaid at the end of the year.
Terms by bank two:
Add-on (Compound) interest = 8%
Repayment of interest and loan principal in 12 equal monthly installments.
b) Total Simple Interest Calculation:
Monthly Simple interest = ($500,000 x 11% )
= $55,000
c) Add-on Interest Calculation:
Using an online calculator, the total add-on interest will be $21,932.68 at an effective interest rate of 0.667% compounded monthly or 8%/12.
Principal = $500,000.00
Total interest $21,931.68
Principal + Interest $521,931.68
Monthly Repayment = $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
d) The simple interest option will cost $55,000 in simple interest and the loan repayment at year-end of $500,000. The Add-on interest with equal monthly repayment of interest and principal will be $43,494.31, which costs $21,931.68 in total compound interest.
