Suppose a firm makes purchases of $3.65 million per year under terms of 2/10, net 30, and takes discounts. What is the average amount of accounts payable net of discounts? (Assume the $3.65 million of purchases is net of discounts—that is, gross purchases are $3,724,489.80, discounts are $74,489.80, and net purchases are $3.65 million.) Is there a cost of the trade credit the firm uses? If the firm did not take discounts but did pay on the due date, what would be its average payables and the cost of this nonfree trade credit? What would be the firm’s cost of not taking discounts if it could stretch its payments to 40 days?

The U.K. firm will then convert the proceeds of the loan to pounds at the spot rate.

The spot exchange rate is 0.6550 pounds per dollar. The second strategy is to enter a forward contract at an exchange rate of 0.6450 pounds per dollar. This ensures that the U.K. firm will receive £645,000 in three months.
