From the following particulars, calculate the effective interest cost per annum to ABC Ltd., which is planning a CP (Commercial Paper) issue: Issue price of a CP: ₹ 97,350 Face Value: ₹ 1,00,000 Maturity period: 3 Months

Answer & Explanation:

Interest amount (₹) = 1,00,000 - 97,350 = ₹ 2,650 Maturity period = 3 months Effective interest = ( (Face Value - Issue Price) / Issue Price ) × (12 / Maturity in months) × 100 = ( (1,00,000 - 97,350) / 97,350 ) × (12 / 3) × 100 = (2,650 / 97,350) × 4 × 100 = 0.0272213 × 4 × 100 = 10.8885% = 10.89%
