Proposal #1 would extend trade credit to some customers that previously have been denied credit because they were considered poor risks. Sales are projected to increase by $200,000 per year if credit is extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 7% are projected to be uncollectible. Additional collection costs are projected to be 3% of incremental sales (whether they actually end up collected or not), and production and selling costs are projected to be 80% of sales. Your firm expects to pay a total of 40% of its income after expenses in taxes. 1.Compute the incremental income after taxes that would result from these projections: 2.Compute the incremental Return on Sales if these new credit customers are accepted: If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 4 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers… 3.Compute the additional investment in Accounts Receivable 4.Compute the incremental Return on New Investment…
The Blue Company has under study a new credit policy that they believe will increase annual sales from P11 million to P14 million. However, the new plan is also expected to increase bad debt losses from P800,000 to P1.2 million each year. The average collection period on collectible sales is now averaging 90 days. This ratio will increase to 120 days for both old and new slaes if the new credit policy is adopted. The increase in sales is expected to increase the company's investment in inventory by P20,000. Assuming a pre-tax reuired rate of return of 25% and a variable cost-to-sales ration of 60%, should the Blue Company adopt the new credit policy? Assume a 360-day year.
