Hint: The payment for a loan repaid with equal payments is the annuity payment with the loan value as the PV of the annuity. Bi-weekly payoff = Bi-weekly payoff = 1.b.Why is this shorter than the time needed to pay off the traditional mortgage? The bi-weekly payments pay off the loan quicker for two reasons. First, one-half of the payment gets to the bank quicker each month, which reduces the interest that accrues each month. Second, the company is actually making 13 full payments each year (26 bi-weekly periods amounts to 13 monthly payments). 1.c.How much interest would the company save? 2.4.Assume S&S Air takes out a bullet loan under the terms described.What are the payments on the loan?(15/15) 3.a.Monthly payments 4.b.Bullet Payment 5.5.What are the payments for the interest-only loan?(15/15) 6.6.Which mortgage is the best for the company?
