Answer:

Rate= 168.65%

Explanation:

When loans are collected there is interest that is paid on the principal collected. The interest is usually expressed as a percentage per year.

The following formula is used to calculate interest rate

Interest = principal* rate* time

We are asked to calculate annual percentage

Rate = interest/(principal * time)

Interest bis paid every two weeks. That is twice a month, and there are 12 months in a years. That is 2*12= 24 times.

Total interest per year= 24* 26= $624

Using the formula

Rate= 624/(370*1)

Rate = 1.6865

Rate= 168.65%

NemiM [27]

Based on the amount it would cost to build the machine and the interest rate as well as the payoff, the following are true:

  • A. $333
  • B. $667

a. The machine will take a year to build which means the payoff will only start coming in next year.

First find the present value of the perpetuity:

= 70 / 5%

= $1,400

You then need to find the present value of the above in the current period:

= 1,400 / ( 1 + 5%)

= $1,333

NPV is:

= 1,333 - 1,000 cost

= $333

B. If the amount produced increases by 1%, you should use the Gordon Growth Model:

<em>= Next payoff / ( Interest - Growth)</em>

=70/ ( 5% - 1%)

= $1,750

Take this to current year:

= 1,750 / 1.05

= $1,667

NPV will be:

= 1,667 - 1,000

= $667
