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.
Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?
Caroline, the owner of Caroline’s Boutique, estimates that she will sell P300,000 worth of certain decorator table this year (P5,000/unit).

A furniture manufacturer has an annual overhead cost of P100,000 plus 20% of the sales in pesos. Labor costs P20.00 per set and the materials cost P10.00. He has a maximum capacity of 1,000 sets per month, but expects to produce only 8,000 sets per year.

A car dealer must pay $20,000 for each car purchased.The annual holding cost is estimated to be 25% of thedollar value of inventory. The dealer sells an averageof 500 cars per year. He is willing to backlog somedemand but estimates that if he is short one car for oneyear, he will lose $20,000 worth of future profits. Eachtime the dealer places an order for cars, the orderingcost is $10,000. Determine the dealer’s optimal ordering policy. What is the maximum shortage that willoccur? Assume it costs $5000 to store a car for a year(this is in addition to the holding cost above).
A bag manufacturer will rent a space in a mall for 24 months for an exhibit. The monthly rent is p25,000 and is paid at the beginning of each month. The manufacturer likes to pay a single lump sum at the beginning of the two-year period. He wants to have that lump sum when the exhibit begins, so he needs to invest this amount at 7.5% per annum. How much is that lump sum?
