For this assessment, you are required to utilise the Case Study and questions from Part A of Assessment 3 (see Assessment Task details below) to present some of the information you prepared for the client then, as well as some hypothetical changes that have occurred since then. Given the rapid changes occurring in markets as COVID19 unfolds, your client has delayed actioning the concepts you covered in Part A. In this new scenario, interest rates have changed and you need to update some of your calculations/outlooks and prepare a succinct slide pack to present the original issues to the client and how the changes to interest rates have affected some of these issues. The updated scenario: Several months have elapsed since you first met with Logica (LOG), during which time they did not undertake any new financial actions. LOG has weathered COVID19 relatively well, with stronger demand for its computer software systems given the demand for staff to work from home. Remarkably, Australia has done fairly well in managing the crisis seeing most sectors of the economy opening up domestically, and Australians spending slightly more on internal tourism, construction and interstate trade. As a result, the RBA has just announced that interest rates are increasing. Assessment Task: Utilising the Checklist attached (for content) and Powerpoint Guidelines below (for layout), you are required to prepare a Powerpoint presentation covering the following issues: 1. Short term funding: 1-2 slides covering Case StudyQ1a (points on discount securities etc) and the change to the amount LOG will raise if P-Notes now have a market yield of 4.50%pa (Q1b). 2. Trade Credit: 1-2 slides covering Q2a and how the opportunity cost of invoicing will change if Logica adopts the following conditions: 1.25/10, n/30 (Q2b). 3.

Short-Term Funding
The Different types of Short-Term Funding
are as follows:
1. A promissory note is a financial instrument used by the companies to raise funds for short-term needs. A promissory note is a written promise by one party to another to pay a certain sum of money either on demand or at a specific event. These securities are issued at discount than the face value, for example a promissory note having the face value of $100 would be issued at $98. The difference between the face value and the redemption value would constitute the income for the lender.
2. A Bill of Exchange is issued when the transaction is between the buyer and seller for the goods purchased by the buyer. Promissory note on the other hand is issued to raise short-term funds for the company.
Change in the amount to raise
In the given case:
Amount need to borrow = $700000
Period = 90 days
 Interest rate = 4.50% per annum
The formula to calculate the funds required to be raised is as under:
Amount / (1 – (Interest Rate x 90 / 365))
= 700000 / (1 – 1.11%)
= $700000 / 0.9889
= $707,857.
Hence the company needs to raise $707,857 to get $700000.
Trade Credit
Trade Credit refers to the credit given by the seller of the goods to the buyer of the goods, in which the...
