Complete Question:
Venture capital required rate of return. Blue Angel Investors has a success ratio of 10% with its venture funding. Blue Angel requires a rate of return of 20% for its portfolio of lending, and the average length on its loans is 5 years. If you were to apply to Blue Angel for a $100,000 loan, what is the annual percentage rate you would have to pay for this loan?
Answer:
Blue Angel Venture Capital
The annual percentage rate to be paid for this loan is:
= 38%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Blue Angel Loan = $100,000
Required rate of interest = 20%
Average length of Blue Angel loan = 5 years
Success ratio of venture funding = 10%
Annual loss sustained from loan = 20% * (100% - 10%)
= 20% * 90%
= 18%
Therefore the annual percentage rate to be paid for this loan is:
38% (20 + 18%)
b) The implication is that the required rate of return expected by Blue Angel will be weighed by its failure rate of 90%. This indicates additional cost of loan. Therefore, the total annual percentage rate is the addition of the required rate of return and the rate of loss sustained.
