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.

An employee is earning P 18,511 a month and he can only afford to purchase a car which will require a down payment of P 85,000 and a monthly amortization of 30% of his monthly salary. What would be the maximum cash value of a car he can purchase if the seller will agree to a down payment of P 82,000 and the balance payable in four years at 18% per year payable in monthly basis. The first payment will be due at the beginning of the first month.

A man who is 30 years old at the start of the year, is considering getting an MFM degree. He currently earns $40,000 per year and expects to continue earning that amount for the rest of his working life (until age 65). He will give up his income for two years and will pay $20,000 per year in tuition, if he attends business school. In exchange, he expects a raise in his salary after completing his MFM. Assume that the post-graduation salary grows at a 5% annual rate and that the discount rate is 8%. What is the minimum expected starting salary after graduation for him that makes attending business school a positive-NPV investment? (Assuming that all cash flows happen at the end of each year.) Use Time Value of Money calculations.
