Problem - Alternative Financing Arrangements - Suncoast Boats Inc. estimates that, because of the seasonal nature of its business, it will require an additional $2 million of cash for the month of July. Suncoast Boats has the following four options available for raising the needed funds.
1. Establish a 1-year line of credit for $2 million with a commercial bank. The commitment fee will be 0.5% per year on the unused portion, and the interest charge on the used funds will be 11% per annum. Assume the funds are needed only in July and that there are 30 days in July and 360 days in the year.
2. Forgo the trade discount of 2/10, net 40, on $2 million of purchases during July.
3. Issue $2 million of 30-day commercial paper at a 9.5% annual interest rate. The total transaction fee (including the cost of a backup credit line) for using commercial paper is 0.5% of the amount of the issue.
4. Issue $2 million of 60-day commercial paper at a 9% annual interest rate plus a transaction fee of 0.5%. Because the funds are required for only 30 days, the excess funds ($2 million) can be invested in 9.4% per annum marketable securities for the month of August. The total transaction costs of purchasing and selling the marketable securities is 0.4% of the amount of the issue.
