Spontaneous Financing
• Accruals
For example, money you owe employees for work
they have performed but not yet been paid
• Tend to be very short-term
• Accounts payable (AKA: trade credit)
Money you owe suppliers for goods you bought on
credit
Attractive source of financing
• No security required
• Interest-free
Credit Terms: Terms of trade specify when you are
to repay the debt

Trade Credit
• Seller lends buyer purchase price from
time of shipment to time of payment
• No security and no interest
• Seller may offer cash discount for early
payment
• Cost of forgoing a cash discount:

The Prompt Payment Discount
Q: Vendor offers a discount of 2% if payment is made within ten
days. If the discount is not taken, full payment is due in 30 days.
What is the annual cost of not accepting the 2% discount?

Abuses of Trade Credit
• Abuses of Trade Credit Terms
Trade credit is now expected in many
businesses
• Companies offer it because they have to
Stretching payables—a common abuse of
trade credit
• Paying payables beyond the due date (AKA:
leaning on the trade)
• Slow paying companies receive poor credit ratings
in credit reports issued by credit agencies

Bank Operating Loans
• Represent primary source of short-term loans
for most companies
• Provide financing for working capital and
expenses
• Advanced against value of receivables and
inventory
• Repaid from collections on receivables
• May be arranged for specific transactions or as
revolving credit agreement or line of credit

Line of Credit or Revolving Credit
Agreement
• Line of credit
Non-binding agreement to borrow up to
predetermined limit at any time
• Revolving credit
Legally commits the bank
Usually secured
Requires commitment fee on unborrowed
funds

10
Interest Rates on Loans
• Interest Rates on Loans
Prime rate is rate that bank charges its largest and
most creditworthy corporate customers.
Interest rates on operating loans are usually based
on bank’s prime rate plus a risk premium
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
11
Interest Rates on Loans
• Loan rates will depend upon such factors as:
How intense is competition among lenders for loan
business?
How large is the loan?
Does borrower have good credit history?
Does borrower have adequate and reliable cash
flow?
Does borrower have adequate security?
Is loan guaranteed under a government program?
What is term of the loan?
What is debt-to-equity ratio?

Example
Example 5.1:
Revolving Credit
Agreement
Q: The Arcturus Company has a $10 million revolving credit agreement
with its bank at prime plus 2.5%. Prior to June, the company had
borrowed $4 million that was outstanding for the entire month. On
June 15, it took borrowed $2 million. Prime is 9.5% and the bank’s
commitment fee is 0.25% annually.
What bank charges will Arcturus incur for the month of June?

Example 5.1:
Example
A:
Revolving Credit
Agreement
Arcturus will have to pay both interest on the money borrowed
and a commitment fee on the unused balance of the revolving
agreement.
Monthly interest rate: (Prime + 2.5%) 12 = 1%
Monthly commitment fee: 0.25% 12 = 0.0208%
$4 million was outstanding for the entire month of June
and $2 million was outstanding for 15 days of June, so the
total dollar interest charges are:
$4,000,000
15
0.01 + $2,000,000
$50,000
30
The commitment fee must be paid on an average of
$5,000,000 that was unused during June, or:
• $5,000,000 .000208 = $1,040
• Total bank charges = $51,040

15
Clean Up Requirements
• Theoretically a firm can constantly rollover its short-term debt
Borrow on a new note to pay off an old note
• Risky for both firm and bank
• Banks require that borrowers clean up
short-term loans once a year
Remain out of short-term debt for certain
time period

16
Short-Term Credit Secured by
Current Assets
• Debt is secured by the current assets
being financed ( accounts receivable and
inventory)
• Common in seasonal businesses such as
retail
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
17
Receivables Financing
• Receivables Financing:
Lenders may extend credit backed by the
value of accounts receivable
Receivables may make excellent collateral:
• Fairly liquid
• Easy to recover in event of default
• Collectibility of accounts is key issue
Common arrangements
• Pledging–Firm retains title
• Factoring–Firm sells A/R
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
18
Pledging Accounts Receivable
Borrower uses A/R as collateral for a loan
Accounts Receivable still belong to borrower,
which still collects the accounts
Borrower promises to use collected accounts
to pay off loan
Lender can provide
• General line of credit tied to all receivables
• Specific line of credit tied to individual accounts
receivable
Lender generally charges interest at rates
over prime, plus an administrative fee.

Example
Example 5.2:
Pledging Accounts
Receivable
Q: The Kilraine Quilt Company has an average receivables balance
of $100,000 which turns over once every 43 days. It generally
pledges all of its receivables to the Cooperative Finance
Company, which advances 75% of the total at 4% over prime
plus a 1.5% administrative fee.
If prime is 5%, what total financing rate is Kilraine effectively
paying for its receivables financing?

20
Example
Example 5.2:
Pledging Accounts
Receivable
A: Average Receivables balance: $100,000
Average loan outstanding: 75% x $100,000 = $75,000
Interest rate: 5% + 4% = 9%
Receivables pledged in year: $100,000 x 365 / 50 = $730,000
Administrative fee: 1.5% x $730,000 = $10,950
% of the average loan balance:$10,950 / $75,000 = 14.6%
Annual financing cost: 9% + 14.6% = 23.6%

21
Factoring Accounts Receivable
• Firm sells Accounts Receivable to lender
(at a severe discount) and lending firm
(factor) takes control of the accounts
Accounts receivable are now paid directly to
factor
Factor usually reviews accounts and only
accepts accounts it deems creditworthy
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
22
Factoring Accounts Receivable
• Factors offer wide range of services
Perform credit checks on potential customers
Advance cash on accounts it accepts or remit
cash after collection
Collect cash from customers
Assume bad-debt risk when customers don’t
pay
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
23
Inventory Financing
• Use firm’s inventory as collateral for a
short-term loan
• Popular but subject to number of
problems
Lenders aren’t usually equipped to sell
inventory
Specialized inventories and perishable goods
are difficult to market
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
24
Types of Inventory Financing
• Blanket liens—lender has a lien (claim) against all
inventories of borrower
• Borrower remains in physical control of inventory
• Trust receipt (chattel mortgage agreement)—
collateralized inventory is identified by serial number
and can’t be sold without lender’s permission
• Borrower remains in physical control of inventory
• Warehousing—collateralized inventory is removed
from borrower’s premises and placed in a warehouse
(borrower’s access controlled by third party)
• When inventory is sold, lender is informed to expect money
from borrower soon
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
25
Money Market Instruments
• Larger corporations may sell short-term
debt instruments in the money market
• Another method to borrow to meet
temporary cash needs
• Instruments include commercial paper,
bankers’ acceptances and
securitization of receivables
© 2006 by Nelson, a division of Thomson Canada Limited
26
Commercial Paper
• Notes issued by large, financially-strong
firms and sold to investors
Unsecured (usually)
Buyers are usually other corporations and
financial institutions
Maturity is less than 270 days
Considered very safe investment, therefore
pays a relatively low interest rate (sold at a
discount)
No flexibility in repayment terms

where M = Maturity (face) value of the security
P = Discounted price (net proceeds on issue)

28
Bankers’ Acceptances
bankers’ acceptance—created when a bank adds
guarantee of payment to the promissory note or
draft of the issuer (corporate borrower)
Issuer receives money from bank. Bank then sells
the bankers’ acceptance in the money market to an
investor.
At maturity, bank repays face value to the investor
and the issuer repays bank
Traded on a discount basis to yield interest rate
slightly lower than that of commercial paper
Usual terms are 30, 60, and 90 days.

29
Securitization of Receivables
• Sale of receivables by large firms in
public offerings arranged by securities
dealers
• The issuing firm thus receives immediate
cash for future cash flows
• Financing is raised at a relatively low
cost, often lower than prime or
commercial paper rate, because the issue
is asset-backed.
