A worked example from Parry Sound

Sample numbers, CAD

A physiotherapy clinic in Parry Sound with about $59,000 in monthly deposits takes $35,000 for a vehicle and equipment upgrade at a 1.28 factor rate, for a total payback of $44,800 over about 10 months. That works out to roughly $1,035 a week, or about 8% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $9,800 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
