A corporation is currently experiencing cash-flow problems and has determined that it is in need of short-term credit. It can either use its trade credit on $100,000 of accounts payable with terms of 1/10, net 30 or a 30-day note with a 20% annual simple interest rate. Which is the best alternative, and what is its effective rate of interest (rounded to a whole percentage and using a 360-day year)?

  1. The trade credit. Its effective rate is 10%.
  2. The trade credit. Its effective rate is 20%.
  3. The note. Its effective rate is 17%
  4. The note. Its effective rate is 20%.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The corporation can obtain trade credit for 20 additional days by not paying within the discount period. Instead of paying $99,000 to satisfy its obligation within 10 days, it can pay $100,000 at the end of 30 days. The corporation will thus incur $1,000 in interest to hold the $99,000 for the 20 days. Because a 360-day year has 18 such periods, the interest rate is approximately 18.18% [($1,000 ÷ $99,000) x 18]. However, if compounding effects are considered, the rate is higher. The effective rate, taking compounding into consideration, is found using the following formula:
Effective rate = [1 + (1,000 - 99,000)]18 - 1.0 = 19.83% In comparison, the 30-day note has an effective annual rate of 21 94%, calculated as follows:
Effective rate = [1 + (.20 ÷ 12)]12 - 1.0 = 21.94% Therefore, the corporation should use trade credit to obtain the short-term credit.

An example of secured short-term financing is

  1. Commercial paper.
  2. A warehouse receipt.
  3. A revolving credit agreement
  4. Line of credit

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A document of title is usually issued by a bailee covering goods in the bailee's possession or care (UCC 1-201). It represents ownership of the goods and is ordinarily needed to obtain the goods from the baillee. The two major types of documents of title are bills of lading (issued by carriers) and warehouse receipts. A warehouse receipt is issued by a person engaged in the business of storing goods for hire. Security for short-term inventory financing can be arranged if the debtor places its inventory under the control of the lender or its agent (e g , a public warehouse), and the lender holds the warehouse receipts.
