Finance

The Reynolds Corporation buys from its suppliers on terms of 2/19, net 60. Reynolds has not been utilizing the discounts offered and has been taking 60 days to pay its bills.
Ms. Duke, Reynolds Corporation's vice president, has suggested that the company begin to take the discounts offered. Duke proposes that the company borrow from its bank at a stated rate of 24 percent. The bank requires a 22 percent compensating balance on these loans. Current account balances would not be available to meet any of this compensating balance requirement.
Question :
Calculate the effective rate of interest if the company borrows from the bank. (Use a 360-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
