Question: Colbum Corporation is requesting a loan for repair of some assembly line equipment in the amount of $7 million. The nine-month loan is priced by Farmers Financial Corporation at a 725 percent rate of interest. However, the finance company tells Colbum that if it obtains a suitable credit guarantee the loan will be priced at 7 percent. Quin-mark Batik agrees to sell Colbum a standby credit guarantee for $10,000. Is Colbum likely to buy the standby credit guarantee Quin mark has offered? Please explain.
