...main beneficiaries of the interest cut will be medium- and small-size businesses that typically borrow at or near the prime rate. (The nation's largest corporations are usually offered rates below prime to prevent them from turning to alternative financing sources, such as bonds and overseas capital markets.) The drop in the prime will also have an effect on consumer loans. Rates for 30-year fixed-rate home mortgages, for example, have already dropped below 10% in the Northeast for the first time since April.

If the farmers manage to sell their crops on the market at a price higher than the loan rate, they can repay the loan and keep the difference. But if the growers are offered only a price lower than...
...besides tuition. Prospective Penn parents can pay tuition for all four years now at the 1986 annual rate ($11,200), take an unsecured tuition loan of up to $42,000 at 9 1/2% with ten years to repay and enter into a revolving tuition- credit arrangement that lets them borrow as they go along, or arrange credit for up to $6,000 in vouchers that the student can sign like checks at, say, the college bookstore or even the computer shack.
