- Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning, a Middle Georgia HVAC company, wanted to build a web-based project tracking for all small HVAC companies in Middle Georgia. Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning asked SunTrust Bank for a loan of $5 million presenting their idea.

If the SunTrust accepts the deal at an interest rate of 14% per year, and the company's plan will work to perfection, what is the projected amount of the last loan payment (in year 5)?

The system receives current market prices and other information from several online data services and then either displays the information on a screen or stores it for later retrieval by the firm’s brokers. The system also permits customers to call up current quotes on terminals in the lobby. The equipment costs $1,000,000 and, if it were purchased, Lewis could obtain a term loan for the full purchase price at a 10% interest rate. Although the equipment has a 6-year useful life, it is classified as a special-purpose computer and therefore falls into the MACRS 3-year class. If the system were purchased, a 4-year maintenance contract could be obtained at a cost of $20,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year.
