Please need answer the general accounting question

You recently approached your bank about establishing a credit line facility.
The terms offered by your bank include a nominal rate of prime + 1.5% (prime
is currently 5%) on the amount borrowed, a commitment fee of 25 basis points
on the unused portion of the credit line, and a compensating balance of 10%
on the amount borrowed. You decide to establish the line for $75 million. Over
the course of a year, you anticipate the average amount borrowed to be $55
million. Your firm keeps no balances at the bank paying fees for all cash
management services.
1) Estimate the cost of the credit line.
2) Assume that the firm did have cash balances to cover the required
compensating balances resulting from the credit line borrowings. Estimate the
effective cost of the credit line.
