- Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning, a Middle Georgia HVAC company, wanted to build a web-based project tracking for all small HVAC companies in Middle Georgia. 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)?

Matt has an uneasy feeling as he examines the loan application from Aggressive Corporation, which just completed its first year of operations. The application included the following financial statements. The income statement submitted with the application shows a net income of $30,000 in the first year of operations. Referring to the balance sheet, this net income represents a more-than-acceptable 15% rate of return on assets of $200,000. Matt's concern stems from his recollection that the $100,000 note payable reported on the balance sheet is a three-year loan from his bank, approved earlier this year.
