Sanders Enterprises arranged a revolving credit agreement of $9,000,000 with a group of banks. The firm paid an annual commitment fee of 0.5% of the unused balance of the loan commitment. On the used portion of the revolver, it paid 1.5% above prime for the funds actually borrowed on a simple interest basis. The prime rate was 3.25% during the year. If the firm borrowed $6,000,000 immediately after the agreement was signed and repaid the loan at the end of one year, what was the total dollar annual cost of the revolver?

Total dollar Annual Cost = $300,000

Explanation:

Total loan Commitment = 9000000 Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000 Unused Portion (9000000 - 6000000) = 3000000 Annual Commitment Fee for unused Portion = 0.50% Commitment Fee = 3000000 x 0.05% = 15000 Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000 Interest Rate (3.25% + 1.5%) = 4.75% Interest Cost (6000000 x 4.75%) = 285000

Total dollar Annual Cost (15000 + 285000) = $300,000
