    A)

    cost of not taking a cash discount = (1+3 / (100-3)) ^ (360 / (35-13)) - 1

    cost of not taking a cash discount = 66.5%

    B)

    Effective rate of interest if the company borrows from the bank = (17 / (100-12))

    Effective rate of interest if the company borrows from the bank = 19.3%
