3. How long would it take for S&S Air to pay off the smart loan assuming
30-year traditional mortgage payment? Why is this shorter than the time
needed to pay off the traditional mortgage? How much interest would the
company save?
Payments Every two weeks, 52/2=26
Bi-weekly payment = $212,098.17 / 2
Bi-weekly payment = $106,049.09
PMT = PV x r (1 1/ (1+r) n)
Solving for n yields:
n =ln (1 PV x r/PMT) / ln (1 + r)
It will take 633 biweekly periods or roughly 24.3 years (633/26). Less time
is required because technically, the company is making 26 half-payments
per year.
4. Assume S&S Air takes out a bullet loan under the terms described.
What are the payments on the loan? What is the amount of the last
payment of the loan?
For the first 60 months, the payment will be the same as with the 30-year-
fixed: $212,098.17.
After that, the remaining bullet payment will be due, and according to
Christie, is equal to the present value of the remaining principle of the
loan:
However, the final payment will include both the interest and the entire
principle: $102,083.33 + $35000000 = $35,102,083.33
6. Which mortgage is the best for the company? Are there any potential
risks in this action?
Every Mortgage have its advantages and disadvantages, for example The
20 Year Fixed certainly is better than the 30 year fixed from the fact that it
cost $26M less in total interest but the interest payments are almost 20%
higher, if the company have enough cash flow to pay this amount, the 20
years will be ideal.
But if the company want a more affordable option, they should consider
the interest only loan, they would be allowed to optionally make principle
payments; with an interest rate of 3.5%, they could still make the same
payments as the 20- or 30-year fixed loan and make a much greater dent
in their loan principle. The risk is that debt rates increase substantially
during that period of time and s&s is unable to obtain financing then.
The point of consideration of the bullet loan would if the 30-year fixed loan
didnt allow for early repayment, and S&S expected to be able to refinance
at a lower rate.
