Summit Record Company is negotiating with two banks for a $150,000 loan. Fidelity Bank requires a compensating balance of 26 percent, discounts the loan, and wants to be paid back in four quarterly payments. Southwest Bank requires a compensating balance of 13 percent, does not discount the loan, but wants to be paid back in 12 monthly installments. The stated rate for both banks is 12 percent. Compensating balances will be subtracted from the $150,000 in determining the available funds in part a. a-1. Calculate the effective interest rate for Fidelity Bank and Southwest Bank.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the effective interest rate is shown below:

For Fidelity bank

= (2 × 4 × $150,000 × 0.12) ÷ (4 +1 )× ($150,000 - $18,000 - ($150,000 × 26%)

= 30.97%

For southwest bank

= (2 × 12 × $150,000 × 0.12) ÷ (12+1 )× ($150,000 - ($150,000 × 13%)

= 25.46%

The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.

a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?

On January 1, Year 1, a contractor began work on a $3.2 million construction contract that is expected to be completed in 3 years. The contractor concludes that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over time using the input method based on costs incurred (cost-to-cost method). At the inception date, the estimated cost of construction was $2.4 million. The following data relate to the actual and expected construction costs:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs incurred $720,000 $1,170,000 $1,110,000
Expected future costs $1,680,000 $810,000 $0

For this long-term construction contract, the contractor needs to calculate the estimated dollar values of the revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized each year. Complete the contractor's long-term construction contract using the information above. Write the appropriate amounts in the associated cells. Indicate losses by using a leading minus (-) sign. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. If no entry is necessary, enter a zero (0).

The Coyote Watershed has two large reservoirs built and operating on-stream to capture storm runoff in the upper watershed. They are named Coyote and Anderson Reservoirs. The capacities of these two reservoirs are 23,244 ac-ft and 90,373 ac-ft, respectively. Coyote Reservoir is approximately five miles upstream from the high water line of Anderson Reservoir and is regulated by releasing water downstream into Anderson Reservoir.
In January, 2017, storms added considerable volume of water to this set of reservoirs, approximately 20,000 ac-ft of runoff were captured. Assuming the upper watershed is 200 square miles and is saturated (100% runoff), calculate the total inches of rain needed to add this amount of runoff to yield this net increase in the two reservoirs combined. Hint: 1 sq. mi. = 640 acres 1 acre-ft= 12 acre inches
