Question 1:
Which of the following is appropriate collateral for a loan secured under a floating
inventory lien?
1. Cars
2. Paper clips
3. Drill presses
4. File cabinets
Answer: The correct answer is 2. Paper clips.
Explanation: A floating inventory lien is a type of security interest in inventory that allows the
borrower to continue using or selling the inventory in the normal course of business. Paper clips
are more likely to be part of the inventory that turns over regularly, making them appropriate
collateral under a floating inventory lien. Other items like cars, drill presses, or file cabinets are
not typically considered inventory and are more suited as fixed assets.
Question 2:
A firm has issued R2 million worth of commercial paper that has a 90-day maturity and
sells for R1 950 000. The approximate annual interest rate on the issue of commercial
paper is … (assume 365 days in a year).
