Assignment
1. Determine manually (handwritten), by trial and error, Lucinda’s rate of return, if she owns the house for 6 months.
you must show the manual (handwrithttp://superioressaywriters.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpten), calculations, including the ball-park method with all the appropriate cash flow diagrams.
2. Prepare a typed Amortization chart that how much would be owed at the end of each month for six months and the amount of the payoff value.
3. Prepare an EXCEL spreadsheet to determine Lucinda’s rate of return if she owns the house for 6 months (comparable to number 1).
4. Use the spreadsheet to determine the ROR if Lucinda keeps the house for 6 months and the selling price is $132,500 instead of $135,000.
5. Use the spreadsheet to determine the ROR if the sales price is $131,500 and the repairs take longer than expected and Lucinda keeps the house for 12 months before selling and the remodeling contract is for 12 months instead of 6.
