Saharan Debt Negotiations.

The banks would like a shorterloan, four years inlength, while Sahara would prefer a long maturity of six years.

Explanation / Answer

a. The annual amortizing loan payments for the bankconsortium’s proposal

Annual Loan Payment = Loan Amount / PVAF (12.255%, 4)

Annual Loan Payment = $220000000 / 3.021109

Annual Loan Payment = $72820946.17

b. the annual amortizing loan payments forSahara’s loanpreferences

Annual Loan Payment = Loan Amount / PVAF (11.754%, 6)

Annual Loan Payment = $220000000 / 4.140212484

Annual Loan Payment = $53137369.36

c. Annual payments if Bank consortium loan stretched to 6 years

Annual Loan Payment = Loan Amount / PVAF (12.255%, 6)

Annual Loan Payment = $220000000 / 4.081884975

Annual Loan Payment = $5389668.17

Annual Loan Payment will drop by = $72820946.17 - 5389668.17

Annual Loan Payment will drop by = $18924278.00
