CHAPTER 23Short-Term Financing • Working capital financing policies • Accounts payable (trade credit) • Commercial paper • Short-term bank loans • Secured short-term credit
Working Capital Financing Policies • Maturity Matching: Matches the maturity of the assets with the maturity of the financing. • Aggressive: Uses short-term (temporary) capital to finance some permanent assets. • Conservative: Uses long-term (permanent) capital to finance some temporary assets.

The choice of working capital policy is a classic risk/return tradeoff. • The aggressive policy promises the highest return but carries the greatest risk. • The conservative policy has the least risk but also the lowest expected return. • The moderate (maturity matching) policy falls between the two extremes.
What is short-term credit?What are the major sources? • Short-term credit: Debt requiring repayment within one year. • Major sources: • Accruals • Accounts payable (trade credit) • Commercial paper • Bank loans
Short-term debt is riskier than long-term debt for the borrower. • Short-term rates may rise. • May have trouble rolling debt over. • Advantages of short-term debt. • Typically lower cost. • Can get funds relatively quickly with low transactions costs. • Can repay without penalty.
Is there a cost to accruals?Do firms have much control over amount of accruals? • Accruals are free in the sense that no explicit interest is charged. • However, firms have little control over accrual levels, which are influenced more by industry custom, economic factors, and tax laws than by managerial actions.
What is trade credit? • Trade credit is credit furnished by a firm’s suppliers. • Trade credit is often the largest source of short-term credit for small firms. • Trade credit is spontaneous and relatively easy to get, but the cost can be high.
B&B buys $3,030,303 gross, or $3,000,000 net, on terms of 1/10, net 30. However, the firm pays on Day 40.How much free and costly trade credit are they getting?What is the cost of the costly trade credit?
Gross/Net Breakdown • Company buys goods worth $3,000,000. That’s the cash price. • They must pay $30,303 more over the year if they forego the discount. • Think of the extra $30,303 as a financing cost similar to the interest on a loan. • Must compare that cost with the cost of alternative credit.
Net daily purchases = $3,000,000/360 = $8,333. Payables level if discount is taken: Payables = $8,333 (10) = $83,333. Payables level if don’t take discount: Payables = $8,333 (40) = $333,333. Credit Breakdown: Total trade credit = $333,333 Free trade credit = 83,333 Costly trade credit = $250,000

Effective Annual Rate, 1/10, net 40 Periodic rate = 0.01/0.99 = 1.01%. Periods/year = 360/(40 - 10) = 12. EAR = (1 + Periodic rate)n - 1.0 = (1.0101)12 - 1.0 = 12.82%.
Commercial Paper (CP) • CP are short term notes issued by large, strong companies. B&B could not issue CP; the company is too small. • CP trades in the market at rates just above the T-bill rate. • CP is bought by banks and other companies, then held as marketable securities for liquidity purposes.
A bank is willing to lend B&B $100,000 for 1 year at an 8 percent nominal rate. What is the EAR under the following five loans? 1. Simple annual interest, 1 year. 2. Simple interest, paid monthly. 3. Discount interest. 4. Discount interest with 10 percent compensating balance. 5. Installment loan, add-on, 12 months.
Why must we use Effective Annual Rates (EARs) to evaluate the loans? • In our examples, the nominal (quoted) rate is 8% in all cases. • We want to compare loan cost rates and choose the alternative with the lowest cost. • Because the loans have different terms, we must make the comparison on the basis of EARs.

Installment Loan To find the EAR, recognize that the firm has received $100,000 and must make monthly payments of $9,000. This constitutes an ordinary annuity as shown below: Months 0 1 2 12 ... i=? 100,000 -9,000 -9,000 -9,000

What is a secured loan? • In a secured loan, the borrower pledges assets as collateral for the loan. • For short-term loans, the most commonly pledged assets are receivables and inventories. • Securities are great collateral, but generally firms needing short-term loans generally do not have securities.
What are the differences betweenpledgingandfactoringreceivables? • If receivables are pledged, the lender has recourse against both the original buyer of the goods and the borrower. • When receivables are factored, they are generally sold, and the buyer (lender) has no recourse to the borrower.
What are three forms of inventory financing? • Blanket lien. • Trust receipt. • Warehouse receipt. • The form used depends on the type of inventory and situation at hand.
Legal stuff is vital. • Security agreement: Standard form under Uniform Commercial Code. Describes when lender can claim collateral. • UCC Form-1: Filed with Secretary of State to establish claim. Future lenders do search, won’t lend if prior UCC-1 is on file.
