Q1.
A business requires approximately $100,000 to purchase stock for 180 days. The transaction is financed via a Commercial Bill facility. The market rate is currently 6.5%pa and expected to increase to 6.7%pa for the next rollover. The Bank involved in the transaction will charge an Acceptance Fee of 2%pa.
Using a timeline show the cash inflows and cash outflows.
market return 6.7%pa for =6.7*180/360 assume for 360 days in a year.
= for180 days =3.35%
same in acceptance fees2%pa=2*180/360 assume for 360 days in a year.
= for 180 days=1%
cash inflow=share purchase*return for 180 days
= $100000*(3.35/100)
=$3350
cash outflow=share purchse*acceptence fees
=$100000*(1/100)
=$1000
net cash flow =cash inflow-cash outflow
=$3350-$1000
=$2350
