Chapter 5, Problem 5.1CTFC
Rae Philippe was a warehouse manager for Atkins Oilfield Supply, a business that operated across eight Western states. She was an old pro and had known most of the other warehouse managers for many years. Around December each year, auditors would come to do a physical count of the inventory at each warehouse. Recently, Rae’s brother started his own drilling company and persuaded Rae to “loan” him 80 joints of 5-inch drill pipe to use for his first well. He promised to have it back to Rae by December, but the well encountered problems and the pipe was still in the ground. Rae knew the auditors were on the way, so she called her friend Andy, who ran another Atkins warehouse. “Send me over 80 joints of 5-inch pipe tomorrow, and I’ll get them back to you ASAP,” said Rae. When the auditors came, all the pipe on the books was accounted for, and they filed a “no-exception” report.

Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning asked SunTrust Bank for a loan of $5 million presenting their idea. They had an agreement with the SunTrust that they will repay the loan by allocating 80% of the company's profits each year for the first 4 years to SunTrust. In the fifth year, the company will pay the remaining balance on the loan in cash. The company assumes that it will not earn any profit in the first year. Also, the company anticipates that the profits will be $1.5 million per year in years 2 through 4. If the SunTrust accepts the deal at an interest rate of 14% per year, and the company's plan will work to perfection, what is the projected amount of the last loan payment (in year 5)?
