Question

Tony’s favorite memories of his childhood were the times he spent with his dad at camp. Tony was daydreaming of those days a bit as he and Suzie jogged along a nature trail and came across a wonderful piece of property for sale. He turned to Suzie and said, “I’ve always wanted to start a camp where families could get away and spend some quality time together. If we just had the money, I know this would be the perfect place.” On November 1, 2022, Great Adventures purchased the land by issuing a $400,000, 6%, 8-year installment note to the seller. Payments of $5,257 are required at the end of each month over the life of the 8-year loan. Each monthly payment of $5,257 includes both interest expense and principal payments (i.e., reduction of the loan amount). Late that night Tony exclaimed, “We now have land for our new camp; this has to be the best news ever!” Suzie said, “There’s something else I need to tell you. I’m expecting!” They decided right then, if it was a boy, they would name him Venture.
