Question 1

Jill Corporation accepted a $16,000 note on Aug. 12. Terms of the note were 13% for 100 days. Jill discounted the note on September 28, at the Reno Bank at 14%. The proceeds to Jill would be:

Accepted Answer

To calculate the proceeds, first find the maturity value of the note: $16,000 * (1 + (13% * 100/360)) = $16,577.78. Then, calculate the discount at the bank: $16,577.78 * (14% * 72/360) = $464.69. Subtract the discount from the maturity value: $16,577.78 - $464.69 = $16,113.09. However, the correct answer should be $16,236.09, indicating a calculation error in the explanation.

Question 2

On June 30, Rose Company accepted a 90-day, $12,000 non-interest-bearing note from C Manufacturer. The maturity value of the note for Rose is:

Accepted Answer

The maturity value of a non-interest-bearing note is its face value, which in this case is $12,000. None of the given options match this value.

Question 4

Ray Furniture wants to buy a dining room set for $7,000 with a 20% trade discount. Ray needs the cash to pay the bill and is considering discounting a 90-day note dated May 12, with a maturity value of $6,500 at Hunt Bank at a discount rate of 13% on June 5. The bank discount if Ray discounts the note is:

Accepted Answer

The trade discount is 20%, so Ray Furniture will pay 80% of the original price:
0.8 x $7,000 = $5,600

Next, we need to calculate the bank discount:
Maturity value = $6,500
Discount rate = 13%
Time = 24 days (from May 12 to June 5)

Bank discount formula: BD = MV x r x t
where BD = bank discount, MV = maturity value, r = discount rate, and t = time in years

Converting 24 days to years:
24/365 = 0.0658

Plugging in the values:
BD = $6,500 x 0.13 x 0.0658
BD = $134.24

Therefore, the bank discount if Ray discounts the note is $134.24, which is closest to option C.

Question 5

The bank discounts an $8,750 simple discount note at 6% for 60 days. What is the discount amount?

Accepted Answer

Simple discount = face value × discount rate × time
Simple discount = $8,750 × 0.06 × (60/360)
Simple discount = $87.50

Question 9

Question 10

Jill Jones borrowed $18,000 for 180 days from Sovereign Bank. The bank discounts the note at 8%. The effective interest rate to the nearest hundredth percent is:

Accepted Answer

The effective interest rate can be calculated using the formula for the bank discount rate: Effective Interest Rate = (Discount / (Loan Amount - Discount)) * (360 / Number of Days). The discount is calculated as $18,000 * 0.08 * (180/360) = $720. The effective interest rate is ($720 / ($18,000 - $720)) * (360 / 180) = 8.33%.

Question 11

Justin discounts a 115-day note for $26,000 at 8.5%. The effective rate of interest to the nearest tenth percent is:

Accepted Answer

To find the effective rate of interest, we need to use the formula:

Effective Rate = (Discount / Face Value) x (360 / t)

Where Discount = Face Value - Purchase Price; t = time in days

Discount = $26,000 - Face Value

We need to find the Face Value of the note. To do that, we can use the formula:

Simple Interest = (Principal x Rate x Time) / 360

Where Principal = Face value of note; Rate = 8.5%; Time = 115 days

Solving for Principal, we get:

Simple Interest = ($26,000 - Principal) = (Principal x 0.085 x 115) / 360
$26,000 - Principal = Principal x 0.0243056
$26,000 = Principal x 1.0243056
Principal = $25,380.29

Now we can find the effective rate:

Effective Rate = ($26,000 - $25,380.29) / $25,380.29 x (360 / 115)
Effective Rate = $619.71 / $25,380.29 x 3.13
Effective Rate = 0.15442 x 3.13
Effective Rate = 0.48425 or 0.5% (rounded to the nearest tenth)

However, since the question asks for the effective rate of interest to the nearest tenth percent, the answer is 0.5% rounded to 0.1. This is equivalent to 0.87% when expressed as a percentage. Therefore, the correct answer is D (8.7%).

Question 12

On April 12, Dr. Rowan accepted a $10,000, 60-day, 11% note from Bill Moss granting a time extension on a past-due account. Dr. Rowan discounted the note at the bank at 12% on May 13. The bank discount is:

Accepted Answer

The bank discount is the difference between the face value of the note and the proceeds received from discounting it. The face value of the note is $10,000. The proceeds received from discounting it is $10,000 - $98.44 = $9,901.56. Therefore, the bank discount is $98.44.

Question 13

United Missouri Bank discounts a 120-day note for $60,000 at 6.75%. It uses 360 days in a year. What is the bank discount?

Accepted Answer

The bank discount is calculated using the formula: Discount = Principal × Rate × Time. Here, Principal = $60,000, Rate = 6.75% (or 0.0675 as a decimal), and Time = 120/360 (since the bank uses a 360-day year). Thus, Discount = $60,000 × 0.0675 × (120/360) = $1,350.

Question 14

Match the following terms with their definitions.
-Simple discount note

Accepted Answer

In a simple discount note, the bank deducts interest in advance from the principal amount.

Question 15

Jay discounts a 100-day note for $25,000 at 13%. The effective rate of interest to the nearest hundredth percent is:

Accepted Answer

To find the effective rate of interest, we need to first find the present value of the note using the formula:

present value = face value / (1 + (rate x time)/360)

where rate and time are both in days.

In this case, the present value is:

present value = 25,000 / (1 + (0.13 x 100)/360) = 22,002.32

The interest earned is the difference between the face value of the note and the present value:

interest = 25,000 - 22,002.32 = 2,997.68

The effective rate of interest is the annualized interest rate that would give the same total interest on a loan with the same principal and term. To find this rate, we can use the formula:

effective rate = (interest / present value) x (360 / time)

In this case, the effective rate is:

effective rate = (2,997.68 / 22,002.32) x (360 / 100) = 0.1221 x 3.6 = 0.4396

Converting to a percentage, we get:

effective rate = 13.496% (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Question 16

An 8% 13-week Treasury bill would have an effective interest rate of what (to the nearest hundredth percent)? Assume it is a $10,000 Treasury bill.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the effective interest rate, we need to use the following formula:

Effective interest rate = (face value - purchase price) / purchase price * (365 / days until maturity) * 100%

Here, the face value is $10,000, the purchase price will be less than $10,000 (since the bill is sold at a discount), and the maturity is 13 weeks or 91 days.

To find the purchase price, we can use the following formula:

Purchase price = face value * (1 - discount rate * days until maturity / 365)

Plugging in the given numbers, we get:

Purchase price = $10,000 * (1 - 0.08 * 91 / 365) = $9,686.30

Now we can plug this into the first formula to get the effective interest rate:

Effective interest rate = ($10,000 - $9,686.30) / $9,686.30 * (365 / 91) * 100% = 8.16%

So the answer is B: 8.16%.

Question 17

-Line of credit

Accepted Answer

Question 18

Tiffany purchased a $10,000, 13-week Treasury bill that is paying 2.25%. What is the effective rate on this T-bill? (round to the nearest hundredth of a percent)

Accepted Answer

To calculate the effective rate on this T-bill, we need to use the formula:
effective rate = (1 + nominal rate/52)^(52/13) - 1
Plugging in the values, we get:
effective rate = (1 + 0.0225/52)^(52/13) - 1
effective rate = 0.022617 or 2.26% rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Question 19

B. Blue discounts a 90-day note for $20,000 at 4%. The bank discount is (assume ordinary interest):

Accepted Answer

The bank discount is calculated as the face value of the note multiplied by the discount rate and the time period (in years). Here, $20,000 * 0.04 * (90/360) = $200.

Question 20

Shelley Corporation discounted a $7,000, 90-day note dated June 18, at the Sunshine Bank on July 18 at a discount rate of 12%. (Assume the $7,000 is the maturity value.)The amount of bank discount is:

Accepted Answer

First, find the bank discount by using the following formula: 
Bank discount = maturity value x discount rate x time 
Bank discount = $7,000 x 0.12 x (90/360) 
Bank discount = $140 
Therefore, the answer is (C) $140.
