Answer to Problem 14QP

The effective annual rate of interest is 3.44%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A bank offers a loan to Mr. X’s firm Y. The cost of borrowing on a line of credit agreement is $70 million, interest rate 1.45% per quarter, and the required compensating balance is 5% against the portion which is being unused. The firm Y has a short-term investment account at the bank, which pays 0.85% per quarter.

The interest rate is on a compound interest basis on its revolving credit loans by the bank.

The formula to calculate the effective interest rate:

Effectiveannualrate=(1+Interest on short-term investments)n1

Where,

n is the number of months or year and the given number of months is 12

Compute the effective annual interest rate:

Effectiveannualrate=(1+Interest on short-term investments)n1 = (1 +.0085)41=1.03441=0.0344or3.44%

Hence, the effective annual rate is 3.44%.

Answer to Problem 14QP

The effective annual interest rate is 6.02%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Firm Y borrows $45 million and repays it within a year; the required compensating balance is 5% against the unused portion of the credit line, firm Y has a short-term investment account at the bank, which pays 0.85% per quarter.

To calculate the effective annual interest rate, the loan’s interest is divided by the total loan value. The interest amount is a part of opportunity cost of the compensating balance of the loan amount. The compensating balance is determined as the unused portion of the credit balance.

Formulae:

The formula to calculate the opportunity cost:

Opportunitycost  = Compensating balance × Potential interest rate 

The formula to calculate the effective interest rate:

Effectiveannualrate=Opportunity cost+Interest paid Amount borrowed

Compute the opportunity cost:

Opportunitycost  = Compensating balance × Potential interest rate 

Opportunity cost =((.04×(Bank loan Amountborrowed)×(1 +Interest rate)n ) 0.05×(Bank loan Amountborrowed) )= (0.04×($70,000,000 45,000,000)×(1.0085)4  0.05×($70,000,000  45,000,000) )Opportunity cost = $43,044.95

Hence, the opportunity cost is $43,044.95.

Compute the interest paid to the bank:

Interest cost =Amount borrowed ×(1+interestrate)4Amount borrowed

Interest cost= $45,000,000×(1.0145)4$45,000,000=($45,000,000×1.0592)$45,000,000=$47,667,318.241$45,000,000=$2,667,318.24

Hence, interest cost is $2,667,318.24.

Compute the effective rate of interest:

Effectiveannualrate=Opportunity cost+Interest paid Amount borrowed=$43,044.95+$2,667,318.24$45,000,000=0.0602, or 6.02%

Hence, the effective annual interest rate is 6.02%.

Answer to Problem 14QP

The effective annual interest rate is 5.93%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Firm Y borrows $70 million and repays it within one year

Note: The compensating balance is applied only to the portion of credit line, which is unused. Therefore, the effective annual rate of the loan on the full credit line is calculated.

The formula to calculate the effective interest rate:

Effectiveannualrate=(1+Interest on short-term investments)n1

Where,

n is number of months or year and the given number of months is 12

Compute the effective annual interest rate:

Effectiveannualrate=(1+Interest on short-term investments)n1

Effectiveannualrate= (1 +.0145)41=(1.0145)41=1.5931=0.593or5.93%

Hence, the effective annual rate is 5.93%.

Treasury securities are issued and backed by the U.S. government and, therefore, are considered to be the lowest-risk securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an…
