Initiating a cash discount Gardner Company currently makes all sales on credit and offers no cash discount. The firm is considering offering a
2%
cash discount for payment within 15 days. The firm's current average collection period is
60
days, sales are
40,000
units, selling price is
$46
per unit, and variable cost per unit is
$35.
The firm expects that the change in credit terms will result in an increase in sales to
45,000
units, that
70%
of the sales will take the discount, and that the average collection period will fall to
30
days. If the firm's required rate of return on equal-risk investments is
10%,
should the proposed discount be offered?
(Note:
Assume a 365-day year.)

Eased on historical experience, the company estimates that 20% of the labels will be redeemed. During 2020, the company sold 5,000,000 frozen yogurt containers at 1 per container. From these sales, 800,000 labels were redeemed in 2020, 150,000 labels were redeemed in 2021, and the remaining labels were never redeemed. Required: 1.

The terms of the sales include a right for the customer to return a shredder within 180 days of the sale date. Based on historical trends, the retailer uses the expected value method and estimates a 40% probability that 16 paper shredders will be returned, a 45% probability that 18 paper shredders will be returned, and a 15% probability that 24 paper shredders will be returned. The retailer also concludes it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of revenue recognized based on this return estimate. Thus, the agreement is a valid contract. Assume no actual returns in January 2020. Determine (1) the transaction price for the sale of shredders for January 2020, and (2) the refund liability balance on January 31, 2020.
