30. If the prompt payment discount is foregone, which of the following credit terms implies the customer is borrowing at a rate that is less than 20% (assume 365 days per year)?

a. 2/10, net 30

b. 1.5/10, net 30

c. 1/10, net 20

d.

3/20, net 75

e.

all of the above imply borrowing at 20% or more.

Hatter Enterprises has current assets of $15 million and a current ratio of 3. The bank has offered Hatter a $13 million revolving credit agreement at an interest rate of 10%. Hatter will have to pay a commitment fee of 1% on the unused balance. Assuming that current assets and the current ratio remain constant, calculate the total annual financing charge associated with this agreement if Hatter borrows enough to support all of its net working capital.

a.

$1,030,000

b.

$1,240,000

c.

$1,310,000

d.

$1,390,000

d.

3/20, net 75

e.

all of the above imply borrowing at 20% or more.

Explanation / Answer

30.) 2/10, net 30 is equivalent to = 2/(1-0.02) x 365/20 =37.24%

1.5/10, net 30 is equivalent to = 1.5/(1-0.015) x 365/20 =27.79%

1/10, net 20 is equivalent to = 1.0/(1-0.01) x 365/10 =36.87%

3/20, net 75 is equivalent to = 3.0/(1-0.03) x 365/55 =20.52%

So, all of the above options imply borrowing rate of 20% or more.

31.) Current Assets =$15 million

Current Ratio =3

Current Assets/Current Liabilities =3

Current Liabilities =$15/3 =$5 million

Working Capital Required = Current Assets - Current liabilities =$15-5 =$10 million

Committment Fee =1% of unused balance

                           =0.01x(13,000,000-10,000,000)

                           =30,000

Interest Rate on Used Funds =10%

Interest on Used Funds =0.10x10,000,000 =$1,000,000

Total financing charge =$30,000+1,000,000=$1,030,000

Hence, option-a is the right answer
