Additional information:
Natalie and Curtis are thinking about borrowing an additional $20,000 to buy more kitchen
equipment. The loan would be repaid over a 4-year period. The terms of the loan provide for
equal semi-annual payments of $2,500 on May 1 and November 1 of each year, plus interest of 5% on the outstanding balance.
