SOURCES OF CAPITAL
REFLECT UPON
Compare the two way of amortizing a loan as shown in two amortization tables. As a future
financial manager, which loan is better and why?
The first one is much better because In each year, the interest paid is given by the beginning
balance multiplied by the interest rate. The beginning balance is given by the ending balance from
the previous year. Because the loan amount declines by ₱10,000 each year, it is fully paid in five
years. While the Other way of amortizing loan is to have the borrower makes a single fixed payment
every period. Almost all consumer loans, like car loans and mortgages work this way. That the
interest paid declines each period, because the loan balance is going down. Since the total payment
is fixed, the principal paid must be rising each period.
= 18% X (1-32%)
a) Percentage cost of borrowed capital = .18 X (.68)
= 0.1224 or 12.24%
= 18% X 2,500,000
b) Interest on principal = ₱ 450,000
= 32% of 450,000
c) Tax benefit amount = ₱ 144,000
= ₱450,000
d) Interest expense net of tax benefit - 144,000
= ₱ 360,000
2) Prepare an amortization schedule for a five-year loan of ₱500,000. The interest rate is 12%
per year and the loan calls for equal annual payments on principal.

Discuss briefly the significance of liquidity, asset utilization, debt utilization and
profitability ratios. Which financial ratio used in measuring the performance of a business is better
and why?
Liquidity is the ability to convert an asset into cash easily and without losing money against the
market price. The easier it is for an asset to turn into cash, the more liquid it is. Liquidity is important for
learning how easily a company can pay off its short term liabilities and debts.
Asset Utilization is important to a company because its success is often tied to its ability to manage
and leverage its assets. An optimal asset utilization ratio means the company is being more efficient with
each dollar of assets held.
Debt utilization ratios provide a comprehensive picture of the company's solvency or long-term
financial health. The debt ratio is a financial ratio that indicates the percentage of a company's assets that are
provided via debt. ... The higher the ratio, the greater the risk associated with the firm's operation.
Profitability ratio is used to evaluate the company's ability to generate income as compared to its
expenses and other cost associated with the generation of income during a particular period.
This ratio represents the final result of the company
Total Asset Turnover it is an efficiency ratio that measures how efficiently a company uses its assets
to generate revenue. The higher the turnover ratio, the better the performance of the company.
