Answer: $338712.36
Explanation:
Given the following :
APR = 6.35% = 0.0635
Monthly payment = $1800
Cost of home = $340,000
Period (t) = 420
Monthly rate = 0.0635 / 12
Amount paid on loan = PV of monthly payment :
PMT(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t)) / r
1800[(1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0635/12)^420)) / r]
1800[ (1 - (1 /9.1764488)) / r
1800[ 1 - 0.1089746] / (0.0635 / 12)
1800 [168.38275]
= $303088.95
Hence, amount yet to pay :
$340,000 - $303088.95 = $36911.05
Hence, balloon payment :
36911.05( 1 + r)^t
36911.05(1 + 0.0635/12)^420
36911.05(1 + 0.0052916)^420
36911.05(1.0052916)^420
36911.05 × 9.1764488
= $338712.36
Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.
