If a firm buys on terms of 3/15, net 45, but actually pays on the 20th day and still takes the discount, what is the nominal cost of its nonfree trade credit? Does it receive more or less credit than it would if it paid within 15 days?
Captain Whitman Ship Supplies offers terms of 3/15, net 45. If a purchaser takes the discount and pays on the 10th day, what is the nominal cost of trade credit? Now suppose a purchaser actually pays on the 20th day but still takes the discount. What is the actual nominal cost of the trade credit?
Tightening Credit Terms Kim Mitchell, the new credit manager of the Vinson Corporation, was alarmed to find that Vinson sells on credit terms of net 90 days while industry-wide credit terms have recently been lowered to net 30 days. On annual credit sales of 2.5 million, Vinson currently averages 95 days of sales in accounts receivable. Mitchell estimates that tightening the credit terms to 30 days would reduce annual sales to 2,375,000, but accounts receivable would drop to 35 days of sales and the savings on investment in them should more than overcome any loss in profit. Vinsons variable cost ratio is 85%, and taxes are 40%. If the interest rate on funds invested in receivables is 18%, should the change in credit terms be made?
