Sunny Coast Enterprises (B). Sunny Coast Enterprises has sold a combination of films and DVDs to Hong Kong Media Incorporated for US$118,000, with payment due in six months. Sunny Coast Enterprises has the following alternatives for financing this receivable: 1) Use its bank credit line. Interest would be at the prime rate of 4.7% plus 150 basis points per annum. 2) Use its bank credit line but purchase export credit insurance for a 0.9% fee. Because of the reduced risk, the bank interest rate would be reduced to 4.7% per annum without any points. In both cases Sunny Coast would need to maintain a compensating balance of 20% of the loan's face amount, and no interest will be paid on the compensating balance by the bank. 3) Sunny Coast Enterprises has been approached by a factor that offers to purchase the Hong Kong Media Imports receivable at a 16.1% per annum discount plus a 1.9% charge for a non-recourse clause. a. What are the annualized percentage all-in costs of each alternative? b. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the factoring alternative compared to the alternatives 1 and 2. (NOTE: Assume a 360-day year.)
