P15–13 LOCKBOX SYSTEM Eagle Industries believes that a lockbox system can shorten its accounts receivable collection period by 3 days. Credit sales are $3,240,000 per year, billed on a continuous basis. The firm has other equally risky investments that earn a return of 15%. The cost of the lockbox system is $9,000 per year. (Note: Assume a 365-day year.)
What amount of cash will be made available for other uses under the lockbox system?
What net benefit (cost) will the firm realize if it adopts the lockbox system? Should it adopt the proposed lockbox system?
1. The current market rate of interest is 8 percent. At that rate of interest, businesses borrow $500 billion per year for investment and consumers borrow $100 billion per year to finance purchases. The government is currently borrowing $100 billion per year to cover its budget deficit.
a. Derive the market demand for loanable funds, and show how investors and consumers will be affected if the budget deficit increases to $200 billion per year.b. Show the impact on the market rate of interest, assuming that taxpayers do not anticipate any future tax increases.c. How would your conclusion differ if taxpayers fully anticipate future tax increases?

A financial firm plans to borrow $75 million in the money market at a current interest rate of 4.5% per annum. However, the borrowing rate will float with market conditions. To protect itself, the firm has purchased an interest-rate cap of 5% per annum to cover this borrowing.
If money market interest rates on these funds suddenly climb to 5.5% per annum as the borrowing begins, how much in total interest will the firm owe and how much of an interest rebate will it receive assuming the borrowing is only for one month?

- Investment Solution (IS) and ExpressIT (EIT) both need to borrow $100 000 to finance the development of new products. IS can borrow fixed-interest-rate funds at 9 percent or variable-rate funds at the LIBOR plus 1.5% in the debt market. EIT, being less creditworthy, incurs higher costs of borrowing which are a fixed rate of 11 percent and a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%. Design a swap and calculate the amount of saving on the net cost of borrowing if BankCredit offers an interest swap contract with each IS and EIT, given that BankCredit retains a 20bp between the rates at which it deals equally with them.
