Your firm receives an offer from the supplier who provides computer chips used to manufacture cell phones. Due to poor planning, the supplier has an excess amount of chips and is willing to sell $600,000 worth of chips for only $500,000. You already have two years' supply on hand. It would cost you $7,500 today to store the chips until your firm needs them in two years. What implied interest rate would you be earning if you purchased

Suppose you work for a data processing company who needs a new supercomputer now. Your company can either buy the supercomputer for $400,000 or lease it from a computer leasing company through an operating lease. The maintenance will be provided by the leasing company. Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year. The computer could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over four years and it will have no residual value at the end of year 4. The interest rate is 12%. Suppose the tax rate paid by your company is 21% but the leasing company pays only 15% tax due to carried over losses from their previous operation. What is the pre-tax lease payment amount that will help the leasing company break even within 4 years if it requires 8% return. What is the NPV of the…
You have just purchased new goods worth 10,000 EUR from your supplier. Your supplier offers you to pay within 45 days. If you pay within the first 10 days, you get a discount of 1.3%. You know that he might accept a delay of 2 days, but if you pay later than day 47, you will most likely get an additional fee of 550 EUR. You need your next delivery in 60 days and you know he will not deliver the new goods unless you pay the outstanding invoice. When would you pay? Why? What is the effective interest rate?
You are considering purchasing a car with a sticker price of $50,000 (nonnegotiable with no down payment required). You wish to make monthly payments for five years and the most you can afford to pay is $1,200 a month. The credit union has agreed to loan you the money at a 7% annual interest rate. Create an amoritization table for the amount the bank wants you to pay and another table for the amount we can actually afford of $1,200.
You have just purchased new goods worth 10,000 EUR from your supplier. Your supplier offers you to pay within 35 days. If you pay within the first 5 days, you get a discount of 1%. You know that he might accept a further delay, because he has a quite bad receivables management, but if he notices, which you estimate has a probability of roughly 50%, you might get an additional fee of 1000 EUR. You need your next delivery in 60 days and you know he will not deliver the new goods unless you pay the outstanding invoice. When would you pay? Why? What is the effective interest rate?
You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $5,900,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in five years. You can lease it for $1,450,000 per year for five years. Assume that your company does not contemplate paying taxes for the next several years. You can borrow at 8 percent before taxes. What is the NAL of the lease? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NAL

You would like to buy a house that costs $350,000. You have $50,000 in cash that you can put down on the house, but you need to borrow the rest of the purchase price. The bank is offering you a 30-year mortgage that requires annual payments and has an interest rate of 8% per year. You can afford to pay only $25,320 per year. The bank agrees to allow you to pay this amount each year, yet still borrow $300,000. At the end of the mortgage (in 30 years), you must make a balloon payment; that is, you must repay the remaining balance on the mortgage. How much will be this balloon payment? Hint: The balloon payment will be in addition to the 30th payment. The balloon payment is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

You owe $6000 on your Chase card, and it has an APR of 21.99%. In the mail, you get an offer from another credit card company that offers you 0% APR for the first 12 months. What is a strategy you can take to help save you money? How can this strategy, however, prove dangerous potentially?
You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $1,000,000 and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $300,000 per year for four years. Assume a 35 per cent tax bracket. You can borrow at 8 per cent before taxes. Should you lease or buy? What would the lease payment have to be for both lessor & lessee to be indifferent about the lease? Rework problem 1 assuming that the scanner will be depreciated as 3-year property under MACRS.
