- 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.

Total sales revenue is £4,500,000 and the company expects irrecoverable receivables of £300,000. A suggestion has been made to offer a 5% discount to customers paying on 30 days.
