For the first question:
Which of the following is appropriate collateral for a loan secured under a floating
inventory lien?
1. Cars
2. Paper clips
3. Drill presses
4. File cabinets
Answer: 1. Cars
Explanation: A floating inventory lien is typically used to secure loans using inventory that is
subject to frequent changes. Cars are more likely to be considered movable assets that fit within
this type of collateral category, especially in industries like dealerships.
For the second question:
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).
1. 5%
2. 11%
3. 21%
4. 23%
Solution:
, The formula for calculating the interest rate on commercial paper is:
Interest Rate=(Face Value−Selling PriceSelling Price)×(365Days to Maturity)×100\text{Interest
Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Face Value} - \text{Selling Price}}{\text{Selling Price}} \right) \
times \left( \frac{365}{\text{Days to Maturity}} \right) \times
100Interest Rate=(Selling PriceFace Value−Selling Price)×(Days to Maturity365)×100
Substituting the values:
Interest Rate=(2,000,000−1,950,0001,950,000)×(36590)×100\text{Interest Rate} = \left( \
frac{2,000,000 - 1,950,000}{1,950,000} \right) \times \left( \frac{365}{90} \right) \times
100Interest Rate=(1,950,0002,000,000−1,950,000)×(90365)×100
Interest Rate=(50,0001,950,000)×4.0556×100\text{Interest Rate} = \left( \frac{50,000}
{1,950,000} \right) \times 4.0556 \times 100Interest Rate=(1,950,00050,000)×4.0556×100
Interest Rate=0.0256×4.0556×100\text{Interest Rate} = 0.0256 \times 4.0556 \times
100Interest Rate=0.0256×4.0556×100 Interest Rate≈10.38%\text{Interest Rate} ≈
10.38\%Interest Rate≈10.38%
The closest option is 2. 11%.
Answer: 2. 11%

yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Lenders recognize that
by having an interest in collateral they can reduce losses
