Del Hawley, owner of Hawleys Hardware, is negotiating with First City Bank for a 1-year loan of 50,000. First City has offered Hawley the alternatives listed here. Calculate the effective annual interest rate for each alternative. Which alternative has the lowest effective annual interest rate? a. A 12% annual rate on a simple interest loan, with no compensating balance required and interest due at the end of the year b. A 9% annual rate on a simple interest loan, with a 20% compensating balance required and interest due at the end of the year c. An 8.75% annual rate on a discounted loan, with a 15% compensating balance d. Interest figured as 8% of the 50,000 amount, payable at the end of the year, but with the loan amount repayable in monthly installments during the year
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.
