10.Pirates PLC sells a line of goods under a six-month warranty. Any defect arising during that period is repaired free of charge. Pirates PLC has calculated that if all the goods sold in the last six months of the year required repairs the cost would be $2 million. If all of these goods had more serious faults and had to be replaced the cost would be $6 millionThe normal pattern is that 80% of goods sold will be fault-free, 15% will require repairs and 5% will have to be replaced. What is the amount of the provision required? Select one alternative: O $1.6 million O $6 million O $2 million O $0.6 million

Now assume that it is several years later. The brothers are concerned about the firm’s current credit terms of net 30, which means that contractors buying building products from the firm are not offered a discount and are supposed to pay the full amount in 30 days. Gross sales are now running $1,000,000 a year, and 80% (by dollar volume) of the firm’s paying customers generally pay the full amount on Day 30; the other 20% pay, on average, on Day 40. Of the firm’s gross sales, 2% ends up as bad-debt losses. The brothers are now considering a change in the firm’s credit policy. The change would entail: (1) changing the credit terms to 2/10, net 20, (2) employing stricter credit standards before granting credit, and (3) enforcing collections with greater vigor than in the past. Thus, cash customers and those paying within 10 days would receive a 2% discount, but all others would have to pay the full amount after only 20 days. The brothers believe the discount would both attract additional customers and encourage some existing customers to purchase more from the firm—after all, the discount amounts to a price reduction. Of course, these customers would take the discount and hence would pay in only 10 days. The net expected result is for sales to increase to $1,100,000; for 60% of the paying customers to take the discount and pay on the 10th day; for 30% to pay the full amount on Day 20; for 10% to pay late on Day 30; and for bad-debt losses to fall from 2% to 1% of gross sales. The firm’s operating cost ratio will remain unchanged at 75%, and its cost of carrying receivables will remain unchanged at 12%. To begin the analysis, describe the four variables that make up a firm’s credit policy and explain how each of them affects sales and collections.
Until recently, Augean Cleaning Products sold its products on terms of net 68, with an average collection period of 83 days. In an attempt to induce customers to pay more promptly, it has changed its terms to 3/10, EOM, net 68. Assume current sales of $100, costs of $88, an interest rate of 11%, and no defaults. Assume each month has 30 days and a year has 360 days. The initial effect of the changed terms is as follows: Average Collection Periods (Days) Percent of Sales with Cash Discount Cash Discount Net 68 38a 88 aSome customers deduct the cash discount even though they pay after the specified date. a.

McEwan Industries sells on terms of 3/10, net 30. Total sales for the year are $1,921,000; 40% of the customers pay on the 10th day and take discounts, while the other 60% pay, on average, 70 days after their purchases. d. What is the percentage cost of trade credit to customers who do not take the discount and pay in 70 days?
Regency Rug Repair Company is trying to decide whether it should relax its credit standards. The firm repairs 72,000 rugs per year at an average price of $32 each. Bad-debt expenses are 1% of sales, the average collection period is 40 days, and the variable cost per unit is $28. Regency expects that if it does relax its credit standards, the average collection period will increase to 48 days and that bad debts will increase to 1.5% of sales. Sales will increase by 4,000 repairs per year. If the firm has a required rate of return on equal-risk investments of 14%, what recommendation would you give the firm? Use your analysis to justify your answer. (Note: Use a 365-day year.)
Problem 1 In 2020, Plumpton Company started selling new computer that carried a 2-year warranty against defects Plumpton sold P5,000,000 computers evenly throughout 2020. 50% of the sales are expected to be repaired in 2020 and the rest in 2021. The entity estimated that 80% of the products will have no defects. 5% will have major defects and 15% will have minor defects. If all products were to have major defects the total cost would be 2,000,000. But, if all products were to have minor defects the total repairs would only cost 500,000. The appropriate risk-adjustment factor should be 5% for the probability weighted estimated cash flows. How much is the warranty expense for 2020?

A manufacturer currently prices its product at 10 TL per unit. Last year, the manufacturer sold 60.000 units. The variable cost per unit is 6 TL. Total fixed costs are 120.000 TL. The manufacturer intends to increase sales by 5%. Current accounts receivable collection period is 30 days. If the manufacturer wants to relax its credit standards, the expectation is that bad debt expenses will increase from 1% of sales to 2% of sales. The opportunity cost of investing in accounts receivables is 15%. In order to benefit from relaxing its credit standards, what would be the expected maximum accounts receivable collection period? (Assume that existing customers are not expected to alter their payment habits. 1 year = 365 days) a) 82,38 days b) 63,33 days c) 105,82 days d) 63,73 dayse) other
A company is signing a contract to buy a number of components for a £10 unit price.

Other expenses are (i) wages @ 15% of the current month's sales (ii) interest on the debt ($0.5M), and “other expenses” @ 10% of the current month's sales. Construct a cash budget for the third month of the second quarter. Does the firm have a cash surplus or deficit?
