Answer:
The amount of the annual lease payments is $98,124.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where,
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments = Equipment cost - Residual value = $425,000 - $100,000 = $325,000
r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = Number of years of lease term = 4
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($325,000 * (0.08 * (1 + 0.08)^4)) / (((1+0.08)^4) - 1)
P = $98,124.2614475627
Rounding to the nearest whole dollar as required, we have:
P = $98,124
Therefore, the amount of the annual lease payments is $98,124.
Answer:
a. It will take her 5 years to pay for her wardrobe
b. She should shop for a new card once she is done paying for this one.
c. She should shop for a new card after finishing paying for this card since going further into debt with the current card would be a bad idea. This is due to the fact that an annual interest rate of 16% is very high. The best option would therefor to finish her payments on the credit card, then shop for a new card with a lower annual interest rate.
Explanation:
Use the formula below to determine the number of months it would take Rachel to pay off her debt;
C *{1-(1+r)^(-n×t)}/(r/n)=PV
where;
C=annuity
r=annual interest rate
n=number of compounding periods in a year
t=number of years
PV=present value
In our case;
PV=$10,574
C=$260
r=16%=16/100=0.16
n=12
t=unknown
replacing;
260*{1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)}/(0.16/12)=10,574
1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)={10,574×(0.16/12)}/260
1-{1.013^(-12 t)}=0.542
(1-0.542)=1.013^(-12 t)
ln 0.458=-12 t (ln 1.013)
t=-ln 0.458/12×ln 1.013
t=5
It will take her 5 years to pay for her wardrobe
b. She should shop for a new card once she is done paying for this one.
c. She should shop for a new card after finishing paying for this card since going further into debt with the current card would be a bad idea. This is due to the fact that an annual interest rate of 16% is very high.
