Company A is currently cash-constrained, and must make a decision about whether to delay paying one of its suppliers, or taking out a loan. They owe the supplier $23345, and they can borrow the money from Bank A, which has offered to lend the firm $23345 for 2 month(s) at an APR (compounded) of 15%. The bank will require a (no-interest) compensating balance of 7% of the face value of the loan and will charge a $216 loan origination fee, which means Hand-to-Mouth must borrow even more than the $23345. Compute the EAR of the loan. Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion

The bank has offered either a line-of-credit agreement or a revolving credit agreement. Third National's terms for a line of credit are an interest rate of 2.50% above the prime rate, and the borrowing must be reduced to zero for a 30-day period during the year.
