Cevap

Commercial Paper is the correct instrument for a firm seeking short-term working capital directly from investors in the money market.
Commercial Paper is a short-term, unsecured promissory note issued by financially sound corporate organizations to meet immediate operational expenses and working capital requirements in the money market.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the borrower type and borrowing duration
The borrower is a corporate entity (manufacturing firm) seeking short-term funds (90 days).
The maturity period (90 days) restricts the search to money market instruments, while the issuer type (corporate firm) narrows down the specific instrument.
2
Distinguish between money market and capital market securities
Money market instruments are for short-term financing (under one year), ruling out long-term options like debentures and development bonds.
Capital market securities are designed for long-term capital acquisition.
3
Select the corporate money market instrument
Commercial Paper is issued by creditworthy corporations for short-term working capital, whereas Treasury Bills are issued by government authorities.
Only Commercial Paper meets both criteria of short-term money market maturity and corporate issuance.
