...Compounded | National First | Prime Rate + 6.75% | Semiannually | Regions Best | 13.17 | Monthly | 1. Assuming that AirJet Parts, Inc. is considering loans from National First and Regions Best, what are the EARs for these two banks? National First (Prime rate is 3.25%) +6.75% = 10% Semiannually EAR = (1+.10/2) ^2 – 1 which is 10.25 Regions Best Rate is 13.17% Monthly EAR = (1+.1317/12) ^12 – 1 which is 13.99% 2. Based on your calculations above: which of the two banks would you recommend and why? Explain your rationale. I think that between National First and Regions Best that National first offers the lower rate after computing the EAR. National first is also only compounded semiannually making it lower then Regions Best. The only thing I worry about it the prime rate changing because if it rises a lot then it could possibly become a higher interest rate them Regions best. At the time being if Air jets Best Inc. takes the National First option then that is 3.74 percent less they would be paying if they had gone with Regions Best. This would be the better option because you will pay less interest over time for the loan amount. 3. AirJet Best Parts, Inc. has decided to take a $6,950,000 loan being offered by Regions Best at 8.6% APR for 5 years. What is the monthly payment amount on this loan? Do you agree with this decision?

...made him a billionaire. And after that he decided to focus on realization of his long-standing dreams: one is Space X – the company, the main purpose of which is the design of launch vehicles and the cargo delivery to the Space. This is the first commercial company to launch and dock a vehicle to the International Space Station. The second is Tesla Motors – the company, which pushes cars into the “New Age” - the age of the clean electric cars. Which wants put an end to uneconomical and low-tech cars of the past1.(http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA,_%D0%AD%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD) Internal combustion engine efficiency - though continuously improving over time - still causes criticism by the "clean energy" crowd. It is argued that in our time of innovation the slow increase in efficiency is not sufficient, and an alternative is needed. That is why the "green" energy adopters see Tesla Motors' Model S as a messiah of sorts. We should keep in mind that the ecological impact of internal combustion vehicles is often overlooked in pursuit of power, luxury factor, or comfort. IC engines produce carbon monoxide that has environmental impact, certain functional elements are non-recyclable and have to be destroyed or stored indefinitely. Tesla offers - on paper, at least - an alternative to a classic form with innovative function and revolutionized efficiency. Throughout the recent twenty-odd years, the technology has entered our day-to-day lives in ways previously unimaginable...

...First bank is offering loans at Prime Rate + 6.75% compounded semiannually, while Regions Best is offering 13.17% compounded monthly. Both of these rates are stated rates, and in order to compare these two loan options, the stated rates or APRs must be converted to effective rates. The Prime Rate for National First is 3.25%. Below are the EARs for both banks: National First: (3.25 + 6.75 = 10%) [1 + (0.10/2)]^2 -1 = 0.1025 or 10.25% Regions Best: [1 + (0.1317/12)]^12 – 1 = 0.1399 or 13.99% 2) Based on the calculations above, it is recommended that Air Best Parts Inc. use National First Bank as opposed to Regions Best. The effective rate for National First is 10.25%, which is 3.74% lower than what is being offered by Regions Best. The effective rate is exactly what Air Best Parts will be paying back to the bank in the form of interest to the bank for borrowing money. Since this will be additional money on top of the principal, the goal is to minimize the amount of interest Air Best Parts will have to pay. Going with National First Bank will save the company money. 3) Taking a $6,950,000 loan at 8.6% APR for five years, Air Best Parts can expect their monthly payments to be about $143,059.16. Below is the calculations for the monthly payment: The first thing we need to do is find the annuity factor for 60 periods at 0.72 % per period: Annuity PV factor = (1- PV factor)/r = [1-(1/1.0072^60)]/ .0072 =48.5813 Now, we can determine the monthly payments: $6...

Fighting Against Currency Depreciation, Macroeconomic Instability and Sudden Stops∗ Luis-Felipe Zanna† First Draft: October 2002 This Draft: November 2005 Abstract In this paper we show that in the aftermath of a crisis, a government that changes the nominal interest rate in response to currency depreciation can induce aggregate instability in the economy by generating self-fulfilling endogenous cycles. In particular if a government raises the interest rate proportionally more than an increase in currency depreciation then it induces self-fulfilling cyclical equilibria that are able to replicate some of the empirical regularities of emerging market crises. We construct an equilibrium characterized by the self-validation of people’s expectations about currency depreciation and by the following stylized facts of the “Sudden Stop” phenomenon: a decline...
