A small industrial contractor purchased a ware­house building for storing equipment and materi­als that are not immediately needed at construction job sites. The cost of the building was $100,000 and the contractor has just made an agreement with the seller to finance the purchase over a 5-year period. The agreement states that monthly pay­ments will be made based on a 30-year repayment schedule of interest on the unrecovered balance of the principal; however, the total remaining balance of principal and interest at the end of year 5 must be paid in a lump-sum “balloon” payment. What is the size of the balloon payment, if the interest rate on the loan is 0.5% per month?

What will be an ideal response?


Monthly payment = 100,000(A/P,0.5%,360)
= 100,000(0.00600)
= $600

Balloon payment = 100,000(F/P,0.5%,60) – 600(F/A,0.5%,60)
= 100,000(1.3489) – 600(69.7700)
= $93,028

A large water utility is planning to upgrade its SCADA system for controlling well pumps, booster pumps, and disinfection equipment for centralized monitoring and control. Phase I will reduce labor and travel costs by $28,000 per year. Phase II will reduce costs by an additional $20,000 per year, that is $48,000. If phase I savings occur in years 0, 1, 2, and 3 and phase II savings occur in years 4 through 10, what is the present worth of the upgraded system in years 1 to 10 at an interest rate of 8% per year?
