Week 7 Assignment: Loan Scenarios

Click here for the SOLUTION

The Niara Corporation is negotiating a loan from Manhattan Bank and Trust. The financial details are as follows:

Niara needs to borrow: $ 600,000
Bank Rate 7.00%
Compensating Balance 12%
Term (yrs) 1

Or

Bank Rate 9.00%
Fees $ 1 2,000
Term (yrs) 1

In either case the rate on the loan is floating (changes as the prime interest rate changes).

a. Which loan carries the lower effective rate? Consider fees to be the equivalent of other interest.
b. If the loan with a compensating balance requirement were to be paid off in 12 monthly payments, what would the effective rate be? (Principal equals amount borrowed minus the compensating balance.)
c. Assume the proceeds from the loan with the compensating balance requirement will be used to take cash discounts.
Disregard part b about installment payments and use the loan cost from part a.
If the terms of the cash discount are 1.5/10, net 50, should the firm borrow the funds to take the discount?
d. Assume the firm actually takes 80 days to pay its bills and would continue to do so in the future if it did not take the cash discount. Should the company take the cash discount?
e. Because the interest rate on the loans is floating, it can go up as interest rates go up. Assume that the
prime rate goes up by 2 percent and the quoted rate on the loan goes up the same amount.
What would then be the effective rate on the loan with compensating balances?
Convert the interest to dollars as the first step in your calculation.
f. In order to hedge against the possible rate increase described in part e, the The Niara Corporation decides to hedge its position in the futures market. Assume it sells $500,000 worth of 12‐month futures contracts on Treasury bonds.
One year later, interest rates go up 2 percent across the board and the Treasury bond futures have gone down to $485,000.
Has the firm effectively hedged the 2 percent increase in interest rates on the bank loan as described in part e?
Determine the answer in dollar amounts.

Learning Team Assignment

P10-3A Compute depreciation under different methods.
On January 1, 2008, Pele Company purchased the following two machines for use in its production process.
Machine A: The cash price of this machine was $38,000. Related expenditures included: sales tax $1,700, shipping costs $150, insurance during shipping $80, installation and testing costs $70, and $100 of oil and lubricants to be used with the machinery during its first year of operations. Pele estimates that the useful life of the machine is 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Assume that the straight-line method of depreciation is used.
Machine B: The recorded cost of this machine was $160,000. Pele estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $10,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period.
Instructions
(a) Prepare the following for Machine A.
(1) The journal entry to record its purchase on January 1, 2008.
(2) The journal entry to record annual depreciation at December 31, 2008.
(b) Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Pele should record for machine B each year of its useful life under the following assumptions.
(1) Pele uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
(2) Pele uses the declining-balance method.The rate used is twice the straight-line rate.
(3) Pele uses the units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of the machine is 125,000 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2008, 45,000 units; 2009, 35,000 units; 2010, 25,000 units; 2011, 20,000 units.
(c) Which method used to calculate depreciation on machine B reports the highest amount of depreciation expense in year 1 (2008)? The highest amount in year 4 (2011)? The highest total amount over the 4-year period?
