Question

A farmer needs to borrow $1,000. The local PCA will make a 2-year loan fully amortized at 10% (annual rate) with quarterly payments. A $10 loan fee and stock purchase is required. The borrower stock requirement is the lesser of $1,000 or 2% of loan principal. Assume that sufficient money is borrowed to cover the $1,000, the fee and the stock requirement. Also assume that the stock requirement is returned to borrower when the loan is paid off and the last debt payment can be reduced by the stock amount. How much money needs to be borrowed

Answer 1

the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount required to be borrowed is given below:

= (Sufficient money + loan fee) ÷ (1 - given percentage)

= ($1,000 + $10) ÷(1 - 0.02)

= $1,030.60

Hence, the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could comes and the same should be relevant
