Answer #1

Loan amount = $600,000

Compensating balance = $50,000

Cash received from loan = Loan amount - Compensating balance

= 600,000 - 50,000

= $550,000

Stated rate of interest = 10%

Annual interest payable = Loan amount x Stated rate of interest

= 600,000 x 10%

= $60,000

Effective rate = Annual interest payable/Cash received from loan

= 60,000/550,000

= 10.9%

Correct option is (b)

Please ask if you have any query related to the question. Thank you
