Introduction to Corporate Finance

PART 1: INTRODUCTION


P3-32 You plan to start saving for your son’s university education. He will begin university when he turns
18 and will need $4,000 then and in each of the following three years. You will make a deposit at
the end of this year in an account that pays 6% compounded annually and an identical deposit
at the end of each year, with the last deposit occurring when he turns 18. If an annual deposit of
$1,484 will allow you to reach your goal, how old is your son now?

mini case

Casino.com Corporation is building a $25-million office
building in Adelaide, and is financing the construction at
an 80% loan-to-value ratio, where the loan is in the amount
of $20,000,000. This loan has a 10-year maturity, calls for
monthly payments, and has a stated annual interest rate
of 8%.

ASSIGNMENT
Using the above information, answer the following questions.
1 What is the monthly payment?
2 How much of the first payment is interest?

3 How much of the first payment is principal?
4 How much will Casino.com Corporation owe on this
loan after making monthly payments for three years (the
amount owed immediately after the 36th payment)?

5 Should this loan be refinanced after three years with
a new seven-year 7% loan, if the cost to refinance is
$250,000? To make this decision, calculate the new loan
payments and then the present value of the difference in
the loan payments.
6 Returning to the original 10-year 8% loan, how much is
the loan payment if these payments are quarterly rather
than monthly?
7 For this loan with quarterly payments, how much will
Casino.com Corporation owe on this loan after making
quarterly payments for three years (the amount owed
immediately after the twelfth payment)?
8 What is the annual percentage rate on the original
10-year 8% loan?

9 What is the effective annual rate (EAR) on the original
10-year 8% loan?
