Actual exam question for AACE International's CCP exam
Question #: 27
Topic #: 5
[All CCP Questions]

Money is value. Having money when you need it is very important. Money can also be valuable when used wisely by knowing when to spend and when to conserve Also, planning now for future expenses can be a plus to the company rather than a debit.

There are several ways to capitalize money and spending. Basically there is the single payment method that has a compound amount factor and a present worth factor. There is the uniform annual series that has a sinking fund factor, capital recovery factor and also the compound amount factor and present worth factor. At this point, we can assure money is worth 10%.

The following question requires your selection of CCC/CCE Scenario 7 (4.8.50.1.1) from the right side of your split screen, using the drop down menu, to reference during your response/choice of responses.

If the company needs to repay a loan of $100,000 in 10 uniform annual payments, how much will each payment be?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To determine the uniform annual payment required to repay a loan, we use the capital recovery factor formula, which is:

A=P(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)A = P times left(frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n-1}right)A=P((1+i)n1i(1+i)n)

Where:

AAA is the annual payment

PPP is the loan amount ($100,000)

iii is the interest rate per period (10% or 0.10)

nnn is the number of periods (10 years)

Plugging in the values:

A=100,000(0.10(1+0.10)10(1+0.10)101)A = 100,000 times left(frac{0.10(1+0.10)^{10}}{(1+0.10)^{10}-1}right)A=100,000((1+0.10)1010.10(1+0.10)10)

Calculating this gives:

A16,578A approx 16,578A16,578

So, the correct answer is B. $16,578.

I practiced a question like this last week, and I think the payment should be closer to $16,273. I hope I remember the calculations correctly!

I feel like the answer is around $16,000, but I’m torn between options A and B. I should have reviewed the sinking fund factor more.

I think we need to apply the capital recovery factor for this question, but I can't recall the specific value for 10 years at 10%.

I remember practicing similar problems with uniform annual payments, but I'm not entirely sure about the exact formula to use here.

No problem, I've got this. The key is identifying the right formula to use - in this case, it's the capital recovery factor since we need to find the uniform annual payment. I'll just plug in the values and solve. Piece of cake!

Ugh, I'm a little lost on all the different factors and formulas mentioned here. I'll have to re-read this a few times and make sure I understand which one applies to this specific scenario. Wish me luck!

Hmm, this seems straightforward enough. I think I can just plug the values into the capital recovery factor formula and solve for the payment amount. As long as I don't mess up the calculations, I should be able to get the right answer.

Okay, this looks like a finance or accounting problem involving loan repayment. I'll need to carefully review the information provided and the formulas mentioned to determine the correct uniform annual payment.
