A company has debts of $500,000 due in one years’ time and $800,000 due in five years’ time. Given an interest rate of 4.2% p.a. compounding quarterly, what single payment two years from today would extinguish both obligations?
Payment two years from today means: | ||
$ 500000 paid 1 year(4 quarters) beyond due date, ie. Future value of $ 500000 after 4 quarters at 4.2% /4=1.05% per quarter= | 500000*(1+0.0105)^4= | 521333.07 |
$ 800000 paid 3 yrs.(12 quarters) ahead of due date ie. Present value at t=2 of $ 800000 with 12 quarters to go for maturity ,at 4.2% /4=1.05% per quarter= | 800000/(1+0.0105)^12= | 705755.34 |
The single payment 2 years from today , that will extinguish both obligations= | 1227088.41 | |
