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.

$1,030,000
b.
$1,240,000
c.
$1,310,000
d.
$1,390,000
d.
3/20, net 75
e.

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
