Since then, cumulative inflation has been 56 percent (a compound
rate of approximately 3 percent per year).
a. When the firm repays the original $6,300,000
loan this year, what will be the effective purchasing power of the
$6,300,000? (Hint: Divide the loan amount by one plus cumulative
inflation.) (Do not round intermediate calculations and
round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
b. To maintain the original $6,300,000
purchasing power, how much should the lender be repaid? (Hint:
Multiply the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.)
(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your
answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
