- 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?arrow_forwardAggarwal Inc. buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, and it always pays on the 30th day. The CFO calculates that the average amount of costly trade credit carried is $350,000. What is the firm's average accounts payable balance? Assume a 365-day year. Please explain process and show calculations.arrow_forwardWhen he became the president of Jem Incorporated, John Smith changed the date of the weekly payday from the end of the day on Monday to the end of the day on Friday. The company has a weekly payroll of $10 million, and the cost of short-term funds was 13%. If this change delayed check clearing by 1 week, what annual savings were realized? Use the information below for the next two problems. Schlitz Inc. has obtained a 90-day bank loan of $10,000 with an annual interest rate of 15%, payable at maturity.

- Margetis Inc. carries an average inventory of $750,000. Its annual sales are $10 million, its cost of goods sold are 75% of annual sales, and its receivables collection period is twice as long as its inventory conversion period. The firm buys on terms of net 30 days, and it pays on time. Its new CFO wants to decrease the cash conversion cycle by 18 days, based on a 365-day year. He believes he can reduce the average inventory to $605,885 with no effect on sales. By how much must the firm also reduce its accounts receivable to meet its goal in the reduction of its cash conversion cycle? Please explain the process and show calculations.arrow_forwardHebner Housing Corporation has forecast the following numbers for this upcoming year: Sales = $1,000,000. Cost of goods sold = 600,000. Interest expense = 100,000. Net income = 180,000.The company is in the 40 percent tax bracket. Its cost of goods sold always represents 60 percent of its sales. That is, if the company’s sales were to increase to $1.5 million, its cost of goods sold would increase to $900,000. The company’s CEO is unhappy with the forecast and wants the firm to achieve a net income equal to $240,000. In order to achieve this level of net income, what level of sales will the company have to achieve? Assume that Hebner’s interest expense remains constant.arrow_forwardJames Inc. currently has P750,000 in accounts receivable, and its day sales outstanding (DSO) is 55 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.arrow_forward
