Reference no: EM13395663

The Raattama Corporation had sales of $3.5 million last year, and it earned a 5% return (after taxes) on sales. Recently, the company has fallen behind in its accounts payable. Although its terms of purchase are net 30 days, its accounts payable represent 60 days' purchases. The company's treasurer is seeking to increase bank borrowings in order to become current in meeting its trade obligations (that is, to have 30 days' payables outstanding). The company's balance sheet is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

Cash	$100	Accounts payable	$600
Accounts receivable	300	Bank loans	700
Inventory	1,400	Accruals	200
Current Assets	$1,800	Current liabilities	$1,500
Land and buildings	600	Mortage on real estate	700
Equipment	600	Common stock, $0.10 par	300
		Retained earnings	500
Total Assets	$3,000	Total liabilities and equity	$3,000

a. How much bank financing is needed to eliminate the past-due accounts payable?

b. Assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan offered are 8%, simple interest, and the bank uses a 360-day year for the interest calculation. What is the interest charge for one month? (Assume there are 30 days in a month.)

c. Now ignore part b and assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan are 7.6%, add-on interest, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments.

1. What is the total loan amount?

2. What are the monthly installments?

3. What is the APR of the loan?

4. What is the effective rate of the loan?

d. Would you, as a bank loan officer, make this loan? Why or why not?
