(Related to Checkpoint 18.3) (Calculating the cost of short-term financing) You plan to borrow $20 comma 000 from the bank to pay for inventories for a gift shop you have just opened. The bank offers to lend you the money at 14 percent annual interest for the 9 months the funds will be needed (assume a 360-day year). a. Calculate the annualized rate of interest on the loan. b. In addition, the bank requires you to maintain a 14 percent compensating balance in the bank. Because you are just opening your business, you do not have a demand deposit account at the bank that can be used to meet the compensating-balance requirement. This means that you will have to put 14 percent of the loan amount (which you had planned to use to help finance the business) in a checking account. What is the cost of the loan now? c. In addition to the compensating-balance requirement in part b, you are told that interest will be discounted. What is the annualized rate of interest on the loan now?
