Question

Klein Company issues a four-year note in exchange for a license agreement with fair value of $100,000. The contract requires payment of $27,956 at the beginning of each of the four years. The approximate effective interest rate associated with the notes payable is:_____.

a. 10%.
b. 8%.
c. 6%.
d. 7%.

Answer 1

b. 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effective interest rate can be determined using the rate function in excel as shown below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type)

nper=period of license=4 years

pmt=27956

pv=-100000(the initial value of the license)

fv=0

type=1(1 for beginning payments, 0 for end of the period payments)

=rate(4,27956,-100000,0,1)

rate=8.00%
