In exchange for a $410 million fixed commitment line of credit, your firm has agreed to do the following:
1. Pay 2.4 percent per quarter on any funds actually borrowed.
2. Maintain a 4 percent compensating balance on any funds actually borrowed.
3. Pay an up-front commitment fee of .110 percent of the amount of the line.
Based on this information, answer the following:
