Let's go through each question:
Question 1: Which of the following is appropriate collateral for a loan secured under a floating
inventory lien?
Answer: 2. Paper clips
o Explanation: A floating inventory lien is a type of loan secured by the borrower's
inventory. It allows the inventory to be sold, with the lien attaching to the
proceeds. Paper clips would fit the category of inventory that is continually sold
and replenished, whereas cars, drill presses, and file cabinets are more likely to be
considered fixed assets rather than inventory.
Question 2: A firm has issued R2 million worth of commercial paper that has a 90-day maturity
and sells for R1,950,000. The approximate annual interest rate on the issue of commercial paper
is (assume 365 days in a year).
Answer: To calculate the interest rate:
Interest=Face Value−Selling PriceSelling Price×365Days to Maturity×100\text{Interest}
= \frac{\text{Face Value} - \text{Selling Price}}{\text{Selling Price}} \times \frac{365}
{\text{Days to Maturity}} \times 100Interest=Selling PriceFace Value−Selling Price
×Days to Maturity365×100
Interest=2,000,000−1,950,0001,950,000×36590×100=0.02564×4.06×100=10.42%\
text{Interest} = \frac{2,000,000 - 1,950,000}{1,950,000} \times \frac{365}{90} \times
100 = 0.02564 \times 4.06 \times 100 = 10.42\%Interest=1,950,0002,000,000−1,950,000
×90365×100=0.02564×4.06×100=10.42%
o Answer: 2. 11% (rounded to the nearest percentage)
Question 3: Lenders recognize that by having an interest in collateral they can reduce losses if
the borrowing firm defaults...
Answer: 3. therefore, lenders prefer to lend to customers from whom they are able to
require collateral.
o Explanation: Collateral reduces the lender's risk of loss if the borrower defaults,
so lenders are more likely to lend to customers who can provide collateral.
Question 4: A Taijikwan Mining firm borrowed R100,000 for one year under a revolving credit
agreement that authorized and guaranteed the firm access to R200,000. The revolving credit
agreement had a stated interest rate of 7.5% and charged the firm a 1% commitment fee on the
unused portion of the agreement. Based on this information, the effective annual interest rate on
the loan was...
