How long-term loans work when a Cumberland County, NJ physician office equips a second exam room
A long-term loan spreads one cost over many years, which keeps each payment small but adds interest. A physician office in Cumberland County, NJ equipping a second exam room, with an exam table, diagnostic equipment and computers, can see the trade-off in two terms. The walls, sinks and wiring of the room are building work and are outside this site.
Illustration only, invented figures: for $74,000 at an annual rate of 9%, an 84-month term means $1,190.59 a month, against $1,536.12 over 60 months. The longer term lowers the payment by $345.53 and costs $7,842.36 more in interest over its life.
Each installment pays the interest due that month first and the rest goes to the balance, so the balance falls by a larger amount each month toward the end of the term.
