Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- 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.The Raattama Corporation had sales of $3.5 million last year, and it earned a 5% return (after taxes) on sales. Recently, the company has fallen behind in its accounts payable. Although its terms of purchase are net 30 days, its accounts payable represents 60 days’ purchases. The company’s treasurer is seeking to increase bank borrowing in order to become current in meeting its trade obligations (that is, to have 30 days’ payables outstanding). The company’s balance sheet is as follows (in thousands of dollars): How much bank financing is needed to eliminate the past-due accounts payable? Assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan offered are 8%, simple interest, and the bank uses a 360-day year for the interest calculation. What is the interest charge for 1 month? (Assume there are 30 days in a month.) Now ignore part b and assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan are 7.5%, add-on interest, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments. What is the total loan amount? What are the monthly installments? What is the APR of the loan? What is the effective rate of the loan? Would you, as a bank loan officer, make this loan? Why or why not?NEKO Inc. deals with various clients throughout the city and is attempting to collect its accounts receivable more efficiently. A major bank has offered a lock-box system for NEKO at a cost of P180,000 per year. NEKO averages 300 receipts daily at an average of P5,000 each. Short-term interest is at 8% annually.

The company now uses a central billing system for credit sales of $198.00 million annually. First National, Knob’s principal bank, offers to establish a new concentration banking system for a flat fee of $150,000 per year. The bank estimates that mailing and collection time can be reduced by four days. Assume a 360-day year. By how much will Knob’s cash balances be increased under the new system? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.) Assume that the borrowing rate is 12%. How much extra interest income will the new system generate if the extra funds are used to reduce borrowing under Knob’s line of credit with First National?

John Harris, the collection manager, has estimated that it takes 10 days for a mailed payment to be credited to Newman’s account and that this time can be cut to 5 days if Newman opens up a lockbox account with a local bank. The account in which the checks are placed earns 8.4% annually. The lockbox agreement calls for a monthly payment of $1,350 and, in addition, a monthly charge of $0.06 per check. Newman’s currently processes 120,000 checks monthly. (Treat these expenses as if they occur at the beginning of the year.) a) What are Newman’s daily sales (assuming a 360-day year) b) By how much will Newman’s average bank balance increase if it adopts the lockbox? c) Should Mr Harris adopt the lockbox ? d) Suppose Newman’s has found a regular 20% of its customers account for 80% of credit sales.
