Chapter 16 Problem 6 Thompson Inc. has a $10 million revolving credit agreement with its bank. It pays interest on borrowing at 2% over prime and a .25% commitment fee on available but unused funds. Last month Thompson had borrowings of $5 million for the first half of the month and $10 million for the second half. Calculate its interest charges for a month. The bank's prime rate is 6%.

The Bridgewater Bank is willing to advance financing of 75% of the value of Shamrock's inventory at an interest rate of 12%. However, it requires a warehousing system to secure its interests. A warehousing company will install and operate the system for $800,000 a year plus .5% of the value of materials entering the system. What is the effective cost of this financing to Shamrock?
