A seller is considering extending trade credit to an existing customer that buys on cash terms. The customer has just placed a sales order (cash terms) for immediate delivery of 400 units at a sales price per unit of $100. The customer states that they will increase their sales order by 10 units if they receive a 90-day credit period. Variable costs are $65 per unit and involve an immediate cash outflow. If the seller has an annual opportunity cost rate of 7.3%, what is the present value of the cash flows from extending credit to the customer? $14,000.00 $13,625.05 -$26,650.00 $40,275.05

Without the cash discount, credit sales would be P6,750,000 with an average age of 27 days. With the cash discount, credit sales are forecasted to increase by 15%, collections within the discount period is 40% and the average age will be 22 days. The variable cost rate is 60% while the effective interest rate that ABC uses for forecasting is 8%. Using a 360-day year, how much is the net benefit or (cost) of the new policy?

a. Assume that the cost of goods sold is 60% and that the monthly discount rate is 1%. Looking at the values in the exhibit above, you note that the average monthly revenue for a subscribed customer rises as the company sends more emails. In addition, the average monthly revenue for an unsubscribed customer also rises as the company sends more emails. What could explain both of these patterns? b. Calculate the 6-month LTV for each of the four tested email frequencies. Please show the spreadsheet with your calculations and be clear about any assumptions you are making. c. Based on this test, how many emails-per-week should the company be sending to its customers? This email frequency should apply to all customers; the company doesn't want to implement a different email frequency for different kinds of people
You buy goods with a list price of $500. You return goods that are defective, having a list price of $60. You are entitled to a trade discount of 30%.

What is the net amount you should pay the supplier if you pay within the discount period?
You have just purchased new goods worth 10,000 EUR from your supplier. Your supplier offers you to pay within 35 days. If you pay within the first 5 days, you get a discount of 1%. You know that he might accept a further delay, because he has a quite bad receivables management, but if he notices, which you estimate has a probability of roughly 50%, you might get an additional fee of 1000 EUR. You need your next delivery in 60 days and you know he will not deliver the new goods unless you pay the outstanding invoice. When would you pay? Why? What is the effective interest rate?
