A bank makes a loan of $1,000,000 at a rate of 6% p.a. It also requires a compensating balance of 5%. What is the effective cost to the borrower?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

A loan indicates the sum borrowed to meet personal or business requirements. For a borrower to be approved for a line of credit or an installment loan, they must maintain a compensating balance with the lender. It effectively serves as collateral and makes up for the lender's risk in issuing the loan.
