You finish your engineering degree with $17,350 in student loans. The interest rate on your loans is 0.6% per month. The loan repayment period is 10 years and your monthly payment is set to be $203.24 [= $17,350(A/P, 0.6%, 120)].
Question 1: You can reduce the interest rate to 0.5% per month if you agree to repay the loan over the next 5 years. If you agree to this, how much is the monthly payment? Round your answer to the nearest cent (e.g., 473.24).
Question 2:
1. You have been tasked with overhauling the widget assembly line in your company's factory.
The overhaul will involve an initial cost of $230,000 and will have a total lifespan of 13 years.
Beginning in year 3, when the overhaul is completed, you expect a decrease in operating costs of
$38,000 annually. This will last for 9 years, ending in year 11. For the final 2 years (though
year 13), the savings will be only $11,000 per year. What is the NPV of this cash flow at a
corporate cost of money of 4%?
