Kayla just signed a contract to purchase her inventory exclusively from one vendor. The contract allows for terms of 3/15, net 90. Kayla estimates that she will need to borrow $150,000 to take the discount. Her bank will lend money for 75 days at an interest cost of $2,000. Should Kayla borrow the money to take the discount? Or does it make more sense for her to not take the discount and just pay her invoice within 90 days? Back up your recommendations with your calculations.
