CDRW is evaluating an inventory financing arrangement with DVD banks. CDRW estimates an average monthly inventory balance of $800,000. DVD Bank is offering a 12 percent APR loan on 75% of the value of the inventory. DVD's inventory storage and evaluation fees will be 1 percent a month on the total value of the inventory. What is the annual effective rate of the inventory loan?
Total interest will be paid = Interest rate x (Inventory balance x Percentage loan on inventory)
Total interest will be paid = 12% x (800000 x 75%)
Total interest will be paid = $72,000
---
Loan value = $600,000 (800000x75%)
---
Evaluation fee = Inventory value x 1% = 800000 x 1% = $8,000
---
Annual effective rate = Total interest paid /(Loan value-Evaluation fees)
Annual effective rate = 72000/(600000-8000)
Annual effective rate = 12.162162%
Annual effective rate = 12.16%
