Select one:

A. 11.18%

B. 19.00%

C. 22.35%

D. 8.08%

Explanation / Answer

Bank balance = 400 + 1600 - 600 = 1400

Book balance = 400 + 3500 - 1400 = 2500

Float = 2500-1100=1400

Option C

sells its accounts receivable at a discount in order to generate immediate cash

Option A

Bank loan = 400000

Compensating balance = 15%*400000 = 60000

Hence, effective loan balance = 400000 - 60000 = 340000

Anual interest payment = 400000*9.5% = 38000

As this interest is for effective loan of 340000

Hence, effective interest rate = 38000/340000 = 11.176%
