Question:

A small industrial contractor purchased a warehouse building for storing equipment and materials that are not immediately needed at construction job sites. The cost of the building was $100,000 and the contractor has just made an agreement with the seller to finance the purchase over a 5-year period. The agreement states that monthly payments will be made based on a 30-year repayment schedule of interest on the unrecovered balance of the principal; however, the total remaining balance of principal and interest at the end of year 5 must be paid in a lump-sum “balloon” payment. What is the size of the balloon payment, if the interest rate on the loan is 0.5% per month?
