Calculate the effective interest rate for the following financing: 1) Platinum Group wants to raise RM10 million additional fund through commercial papers that mature in 120 days at an interest rate of 9% annually and incurring total replacement fees of RM30,000. 1) Global Network is negotiating on a 9-month revolving credit agreement with Bank YY for RM700,000 at a stated interest rate of 8% annually. The bank requires a 2% commitment fee on the unused fund and a compensating balance of RM60,000. Currently Global Network had a RM50,000 checking account balance that can be used to meet part of the compensating balance requirement.

Interest rate to be charged is 7%, on a discount basis and requires 5% compensating balance.
