Case Assignment

Pearland Medical Center’s board recently decided to investigate ways
to increase revenues. The organization has the benefit of different
revenue streams, including patient revenue and returns on investments.
Additionally, the Center has just borrowed $1,000,000 on a five-year
loan with annual payment term at a 12 percent rate. The first payment
will be due one year from now. This assignment has two parts:

Part 1: Amortization Schedule

  1. Construct the amortization schedule for this loan.
  2. How do the interest payment, principal payment, and total payment change when a loan is amortized?

Part 2: Investments

  1. Suppose the board were going to invest in an ordinary annuity
    requiring a payment of $10,000 over the next five years with an interest
    rate of 5%. What is the future value of this ordinary annuity
    investment?
  2. The board is considering other options for investing as well. For
    example, they want to double their investment of $70,000 over the next
    12 years by using conventional securities with a projected return of 6%.
    Does the present value of the investment indicate that this is
    possible?
  3. What criteria should you examine in considering annuities? Include
    the common characteristics of variable annuity and equity-indexed
    annuity in your response.
