Management Accounting and Financial Reporting

Question: A company wants to set up a sinking fund for the repayment of a loan of $100m at the end of four years. It makes equal deposits at the end of each month into a fund that earns interest at 22% p.a compounded monthly. Determine the size of each deposit and construct a sinking fund schedule

Computation of the sinking fund:

Note:   S = is for the amount  

i = is for interest

            n = is for the time or years to pay

            1 = is constant

The business is obliged to pay the loan after its usage. The accumulation of the fund by making periodic deposits is called sinking fund with additional interests.  After computing the amount that is needed for payment, the company should pay the loan with an equal amount of deposits worth $1,318,436.605 monthly within 4 years.

After the construction of the sinking fund schedule, the company is bound to pay within 4 years monthly. Meaning, the company has a responsibility to pay the amount with the interest for 48 months. The total amount that the company needed to pay is worth $3,196,528,416.781 with the inclusion of the subjected 22% interest. Within the span of 4 years, it is advised that the company should not fail to pay this amount to avoid the accumulation of interest that will definitely invite the negative effect in the company’s financial statement and might diminish the trust from the banks, loaning institutions, and investors.
