A company issues $100 million of CP with a 90-day maturity at a
discount of 5.4%.
Fees include an annual dealer fee of 0.08% and a backup line of
credit fee of 0.30%.
The usable funds are?
What is the prorated dealer fee?
What is the prorated backup line of credit fee?
What is the annual interest rate for the issuer?
What is the nominal, or annual, yield to the investor?
Prorated dealer fee = $100 million * 0.08%*90/360 = $20000
Prorated backup line of credit fee = $100 million * 0.30%*90/360 = $75000
Discount = $100 million *5.4%*90/360 = $1,350,000
Usable funds = $100 million - $20000- $75000 -$1350000 = $98,555,000
Annual Interest rate for issuer = (Total charges + Discount)/Usable funds * 365/90
=(20000+75000+1350000)/98555000*365/90
=5.9462%
Purchase price of Investors = $100 million - $1.35 million = $98.65 million
Nominal Yield to investor = 1.35 /98.65 *365/90= 5.55%
