Ryan Enterprises has a business plan for a QR Shopper, a start-up business. He is considering two financing alternatives for a business loan. Ryan is concerned about several issues that may influence the decision. One such issue is the comparative impact of the two alternatives on financial statements. Below are the two financing alternatives that Ryan Enterprises is considering: Alternative A: A seven-year business loan in the amount of $450,000 with a 4.25% interest rate.             The terms of the loan require payments of principal and interest every six months                         at the end of each period (six-months).   Alternative B: A five-year business loan in the amount of $450,000 with a 5.0% interest rate.                        The terms of the loan require payments of principal and interest every quarter                        at the beginning of each period (quarter).   Required: Prepare the amortization schedule for each alternative.

Imagine that Commodore has taken out a multimilliondollar loan that must be repaid next year. How might the lender react if it learned that Commodore was using the book-and-hold method to make revenues look higher than they really are?
Alice’s second initiative calls for Fresh & Fruity to obtain a bank loan of a sufficient size to enable the company to take all suppliers’ discounts. What is the minimum size of this loan? (Hint: To take all suppliers’ discounts, the average payment period must be 10 days, and net purchases will be purchases – (Purchases from Figure 1 x .02). Assume that all this happens, and solve the following formula for the new accounts payable balance, using:   Accounts payable = Average payment period x Purchase per day* *Based on net purchases/360.   Now compare the accounts payable you just solved with the new accounts payable balance you found in question 3. The difference is the size of the loan that is required. Assume that Fresh &Fruity does obtain an 8 percent loan for one year in the amount you solved in question 5, and it reduces its accounts payable balance accordingly. Now the company is taking 2 percent discounts on all purchases and paying 8 percent a year on the loan…
