Assume the credit terms offered to your firm by your suppliers are 2/20, net 40. Calculate the cost of the trade credit if your firm does not take the discount and pays on day 40. (Hint: Use a 365-day year.)
Q2) Credit Period
Credit Sales = $24mn per year
Credit Terms = net / 30
Profit Margin = 20%
