PIK - how to model PIK if interest period and cash interst payment is quarterly?
Assume interest rate (annualized) is 6% and PIK interest is 5% (annualized). Should I model it on a quarterly basis? How to do that? Thanks!
(1 + 6%/4)^4 - 1 = 6.14%. Use this for the annual cash rate.
(1 + 5%/4)^4 - 1 = 5.09%. Use this for the annual PIK rate.
Isn't it specifically the opposit?
(1 + 6%)^(1/4) - 1= 1.467%
=> (1 + 1.467%)^4 - 1 = 6%
No
Same way you’d do anything else - divide the rate by 4, and compound quarterly.
Multiply the rate by the days in the period (quarterly will be 90-92 depending) divided by the year rate agreed to in the credit agreement (either 360 or 365).
I'm honestly not getting any of the math above. My interpretation:
Et qui quis ut commodi dolorum voluptas reprehenderit. Commodi placeat deserunt quia nihil sed deserunt itaque pariatur. Delectus velit tenetur qui aut. Provident quo enim et animi sed rerum. Eum vitae id at amet recusandae.
