CyberAge Outlet, a relatively new store, is a cafe that offers customers the opportunity to browse the Internet or play computer games at their tables while they drink coffee. The customer pays a fee based on the amount of time spent signed on to the computer. The store also sells books, tee-shirts, and computer accessories. CyberAge has been paying all of its bills on the last day of the payment period, thus forfeiting all supplier discounts. Shown below are data on CyberAge's two major vendors, including average monthly purchases and credit terms.

  1. 11%
  2. 10%
  3. 12.09%
  4. 9.90%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The interest at 11% annually on a 30-day loan of $64,615 is $592.30 [$64,615 x 11% x (30 ÷ 360)). However, the company has access to only $56,800 The interest expense on usable funds is therefore at an annual rate of 12.09% [($592.30 $58,800) x 12 months).

If Morton fails to take the discount and pays on the 40th day, what effective rate of annual interest is it paying the vendor?

  1. 2%
  2. 24%
  3. 24.49%
  4. 36.73%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

By failing to take the discount, the company is essentially borrowing $58,800 for 30 days. Thus, at a cost of $1,200, the company acquires the use of $58,800, resulting in a rate of 2.04081% ($1,200 ÷ $58,800) for 30 days. Assuming a 360-day year, the effective annual rate is 24.489% [2.04081% x (360 days ÷ 30 days)].
