Problem 31-18 Credit policy Cast Iron Company, on each nondelinquent sale, receives revenues with a present value of $1,220 and incurs costs with a value of $1,010. Cast Iron has been asked to extend credit to a new customer. You can find little information on the firm but you believe that the probability of payment is no better than 0.79 and that there will be a repeat order in one year if payment occurs. If the discount rate is 11%, calculate the minimum probability of payment on the repeat order at which credit can be extended. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Minimum probability 82.79%

Tightening Credit Terms Kim Mitchell, the new credit manager of the Vinson Corporation, was alarmed to find that Vinson sells on credit terms of net 90 days while industry-wide credit terms have recently been lowered to net 30 days. On annual credit sales of 2.5 million, Vinson currently averages 95 days of sales in accounts receivable. Mitchell estimates that tightening the credit terms to 30 days would reduce annual sales to 2,375,000, but accounts receivable would drop to 35 days of sales and the savings on investment in them should more than overcome any loss in profit. Vinsons variable cost ratio is 85%, and taxes are 40%. If the interest rate on funds invested in receivables is 18%, should the change in credit terms be made?
