RT is about to loan his granddaughter Cynthia \($20\),000 for 1 year. RT’s TVOM, based upon his current investment earnings, is 12 percent, and he has no desire to loan money for a lower rate. Cynthia is currently earning 8 percent on her investments, but they are not easily available to her, and she is willing to pay up to \($2\),000 interest for the 1-year loan.

a. Should they be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan?

b. If so, what range of paybacks would be mutually satisfactory? If not, how many dollars off is each person from reaching an agreement?
