Don't begin your journey at the posted coordinates, unless you would like to open up a bank account. This will be a short two stage Mystery with less than half a mile of distance to travel. The hardest part will be solving the puzzle to discover the stage one coordinates.

Solve this puzzle to determine the location of stage one.

Mr. Walton wished to grow his company and expand his business outside of northwest Arkansas. He had the clever idea of reducing his prices lower than his competitors, thereby increasing his sales volumes. But if he sold products at a reduced price, how would he make more money? To achieve his goal of an improved bottom line, he would need to reduce his profit margin.

To achieve a lower profit margin, Mr. Walton meticulously reduced his expenses.

Determine how much money he could save by borrowing $20,000 at a 8% interest rate instead of a 15% interest rate (compounded monthly) over a period of 10 years.

$A,BCD ignore cents

Assuming he agreed to this $20,000 loan at 8%, what would be the amount of his monthly payment?

$EFG ignore cents

If Mr. Walton paid $20 more than his standard monthly payment, how sooner would he pay off his debt (in months)?

HK

The coordinates of stage one are N39° 4H.K(B-K)E   W104° 5(B-C-K).(G+H)(F-K)A



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.


Congratulations to LostinDenver for being the first to find Mr. Walton's Ca$he!

Great puzzle and cache. Had to check our figures a couple times before getting a happy checker but we did it. This is near our grandson's house so got the cache on our way there. Quick find and loved the container. Definitely gets a favorite point.
