A worked example from Morden

Illustrative arithmetic

A cabinet and millwork maker in Morden with about $60,000 in monthly deposits takes $27,000 for a vehicle and equipment upgrade at a 1.30 factor rate, for a total payback of $35,100 over about 8 months. That works out to roughly $1,013 a week, or about 7% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $8,100 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
