Ans. A) The required annual loan payment is $4,156.43; B) Halfway through the loan's life, the loans balance is $15,557 C) Percentage of the total payments toward interest is 54.56%

Explanation:

Hi, well in order to find out the required annual loan payment, we have to use the following formula and solve for A.

Therefore

Now, half way through the loan´s life, we still have 5 payments to make, therefore the remaining balance is found by bringing to present value those 5 yearly payments, using the same equation mentioned above, this should look like this.

In order to find the percentage torward interest of the total payments made in the first 5 years, we had to make an amortization table (please see the attachments) so we found this

Interest (first 5 years)    $11,339.10  

total pmt (first 5 years)    $20,782.17  

% of total PMTs torward interest  54.56%

This percentage was found by: (11,339.10/20,782.17)*100=54.56%

Best of luck

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
