Question 14 of 14
Borrowing to Start a Business
Morgan, a budding entrepreneur, was excited that her presentation at her college annual entrepreneurial competition
was voted the best by every judge. An angel investor in the audience was very impressed by her business plan and
offered to help her start her business by offering her a loan at 3.00% compounded semi-annually.
After 4 years, her business had savings of $85,766.00 and she used the entire amount to completely pay off her
outstanding debt with the investor.
a. What was the loan amount provided to her by the angel investor and what was the accumulated interest over the
four-year period?
PV =
Round to the nearest cent
b. How long (rounded up to the next month) would it take for her debt to reach $106,000.00 if she does not repay any
amount throughout the term? Assume the same interest rate of 3.00% compounded semi-annually throughout this
extended period.
years and months
Round up to the next month
c. If she had obtained the same loan amount from a local bank, it would have accumulated to $85,766.00 in 44
months instead of four years. What is the interest rate compounded semi-annually charged by the local bank?
j= %
Round to two decimal places
d. Calculate the loan amount provided to her by the angel investor if the loan had been issued to her at an annually
compounding frequency instead of a semi-annually compounding frequency. Compare your answer to (a) and
determine what her savings would be.
Savings =
Round to the nearest cent
e. If her contract with the investor required that she settle all dues in two years, how much could she have borrowed
initially if she was sure that she could repay $23,000.00 in one year and $42,000.00 at the end of two years?
Round to the nearest cent
f. What was the size of the loan provided by the investor if she was charged 3.00% compounded semi-annually for
the first year and 5.00% compounded annually for the following year(s) and it accumulated to $85,766.00 in four
years?
Round to the nearest cent
