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.

Taxes and insurance are expected to reach about $100 per month. The other alternative is to lease a home for $700 per month payable in advance, plus a deposit of $600, which would be returned when the home ics vacated. Servies are estimated at $135 per month, whether you rent or buy.

A land surveyor just starting in private practice needs a van to carry crew and equipment. He can lease a used van for $8000 per year, paid at the beginning of each year, in which case maintenance is provided. Alternatively, he can buy a used van for $16,000 and pay for maintenance himself. He expects to keep the van for 3 years, at which time he would sell it for an anticipated $3500. Given a MARR of 6%, what is the most the surveyor should pay for uniform annual maintenance to make it worthwhile to buy the van instead of leasing it?
