Matthews Manufacturing is negotiating a one-year credit line with its bank, Worldwide Bank. The amount of the credit line is $6.5 million with an interest rate set at 1.5 percent above the prime rate. A commitment fee of 0.50 percent (50 basis points) will be charged on the unused portion of the line. No compensating balances are required, and the loan is made on a 365-day basis.

d. Using your findings in parts (a), (b), and (c), compare, contrast, and discuss the effects of interest rate changes versus changes in the average loan outstanding on Matthews' effective borrowing rates.
