Problem 7-20 (Algo) Credit policy decision with changing variables [LO7-4]
Slow Roll Drum Company is evaluating the extension of credit to a new group of customers. Although these customers will provide
$432,000 in additional credit sales, 9 percent are likely to be uncollectible. The company will also incur $17,500 in additional collection
expense. Production and marketing costs represent 77 percent of sales. The firm is in a 35 percent tax bracket. No other asset buildup
will be required to service the new customers. The firm has a 12 percent desired return. Assume the average collection period is 180
days.
a. Compute the return on incremental investment.
Note: Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Use a 360-day year.

Problem 11
Consider the following information about two alternative credit strategies:
Refused Credit
Price per unit
Cost per unit
Grant Credit
P75
P71
P32
P33
Quantity sold per quarter
Probability of payment
6,200
6,900
1.0
.90
The higher cost per unit reflects the expense associated with credit orders, and the
higher price per unit reflects the existence of a cash discount. The credit period
will be 90 days, and the cost of debt is .75 percent per month.
Required:
Based on this information, should credit be granted?
a.
b.
In (a), what does the credit price per unit have to be a break even?
c.
In (a), suppose we can obtain a credit report for P1.50 per customer. Assuming
that each customer buys one unit and that the credit report correctly identifies
all customers who will not pay, should credit be extended?
