Instruction
This is meant to be work of a personal nature, I will have to present as well as submit the work. I have already made up a scenario. Excel file containing amortization schedule and graph must be included.
Upon graduation I intend to go into business with my father who sells construction equipment. He is currently in debt for the amount of $20,000 to his suppliers, due to a theft a few months ago. The supplier is willing to open a credit line on my name, but needs an $8,000 payment towards the previous debt. Once payment is made he will open the credit line to $30,000 and wants a monthly payment of $500 until repayment is complete. I estimated that I will need $12,000 to cover the suppliers initial payment and other expenses. I shopped around for bank loans (3yrs)and the best option of borrowing $12,000 as capital to start from a local bank at a compound annual interest rate of 6.2%. My other option was to borrow from my uncle who is in the same type of business and offered to help. He would lend me the money of the condition that I pay him back within the next two years at an interest rate that he would have earned by committing his money in a savings account but he wants it back in 18 months. The savings account charges an interest rate of .95%.
Which is the best option?
