The manufacturer is willing to accept a down payment of 20% of the purchase price and an instalment note for the balance. The note would require quarterly fixed principal payments (plus interest) starting October 1, 2020, for a period of two years. M&B has a proposal from its bank for an instalment loan for two years that requires a fixed blended monthly payment (including both principal and interest) starting August 1, 2020. The loan would be for 80% of the equipment's purchase price. The current market rate of interest is 8%. Both contracts have an interest rate of 8% b. Calculate the amount of the payments required of M&B under each alternative. Use either a financial calculator or Excel functions in your calculation

The appraised value of the property is currently $1.25 million and the lender is willing to make a $1,125,000 participation loan with a contract interest rate of 5.5 percent. The loan will be amortized with monthly payments over a 20-year term. In addition to the regular mortgage payments, the lender will receive 50 percent of the NOI in excess of $100,000 each year until the loan is repaid. The lender also will receive 50 percent of any increase in the value of the property. The loan includes a substantial prepayment penalty for repayment before year 5, and the balance of the loan is due in year 10. (If the property has not been sold, the participation will be based on the appraised value of the property.) Assume that the appraiser would estimate the value in year 10 by dividing the NOI for year 11 by an 8 percent capitalization rate. Assume that another…
