In exchange for a $460 million fixed commitment line of credit, your firm has agreed to do the following:
1. Pay 3.0 percent per quarter on any funds actually borrowed.
2. Maintain a 5 percent compensating balance on any funds actually borrowed.

Based on this information, answer the following:
a. Ignoring the commitment fee, what is the effective annual interest rate on this line of credit? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Effective annual interest rate ? %
b. Suppose your firm immediately uses $200 million of the line and pays it off in one year. What is the effective annual interest rate on this $200 million loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Effective annual interest rate ? %
