    a. AIE will have to borrow $25,5102.04

    b. The Effective Rate on this Loan is 6.63%

    c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the effective rate is 6.50%

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate how much will AIE have to borrow we would have to use the following formula:

    Amount to be borrowed = Cost of Truck / (1 - Compensating balance)

    Amount to be borrowed = $250000 / (1 - 0.02)

    a. Amount to be borrowed = $25,5102.04

    In order to calculate the effective rate on this loan we calculate the following:

    Effective Rate on this Loan = Interest / Amount received

    Effective Rate on this Loan = 16581.63 / 250000

    b. Effective Rate on this Loan = 6.63%

    c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the Effective rate = annual rate, hence the effective rate is 6.50%
