c. The discount period is increased to 15 days.
(a)
To determine: The effective annual rate (EAR)
Introduction:
Credit term refers to customer’s ability to acquire goods before making payment, depends on the trust that payment will be paid in future.
Answer to Problem 5QP
The effective annual rate (EAR) is 20.13%.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The terms “1/10 net 30” means the customers receive 1% discount if they make the payment in 10 days, with the total amount due in 30 days if the discount is not received.
In this case, 30 days is the credit period, 10 days is the period of discount, and 2% is the amount of cash discount.
Here, the percentage of discount interest is 1% on
The formula to calculate the periods per year:
Hence, the periods per year is 18.25.
The formula to calculate the periodic interest rate:
Hence, the periodic interest rate is 1.01%.
The formula to calculate effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective interest rate is 20.13%.
To determine: The EAR.
Answer to Problem 5QP
The effective annual rate (EAR) is 44.59%.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The terms “2/10 net 30” means the customers receive 2% discount if they make the payment in 10 days, with the total amount due in 30 days if the discount is not received.
In this case, 30 days is the credit period, 10 days is the period of discount, and 2% is the amount of cash discount.
Here, the percentage of discount interest is 2% on
The formula to calculate the periods per year:
Hence, the periods per year is 18.25.
The formula to calculate the periodic interest rate:
Hence, the periodic interest rate is 2.04%.
The formula to calculate effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective interest rate is 44.59%.
(b)
To determine: The effective annual rate (EAR)
Answer to Problem 5QP
The effective annual rate (EAR) is 11.05%.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The terms “1/10 net 45” means the customers receive a 1% discount if they pay in 10 days, with the total amount due in 45 days if the discount is not received.
In this case, 45 days is the credit period, 10 days is the period of discount, and 1% is the amount of cash discount.
Here, the percentage of discount interest is 1% on
The formula to calculate the periods per year:
Hence, the periods per year is 10.43.
The formula to calculate the periodic interest rate:
Hence, the periodic interest rate is 1.01%.
The formula to calculate effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective interest rate is 11.05%.
(c)
To determine: The effective annual rate (EAR)
Answer to Problem 5QP
The effective annual rate (EAR) is 27.71%.
Explanation of Solution

The terms “1/15 net 30” mean the customers receive a 1% discount if they pay in 10 days, with the total amount due in 30 days if the discount is not received.
In this case, 30 days is the credit period, 15 days is the period of discount, and 2% is the amount of cash discount.
Here, the percentage of discount interest is 1% on
The formula to calculate the periods per year:
Hence, the periods per year is 24.33.
The formula to calculate the periodic interest rate:
Hence, the periodic interest rate is 1.01%.
The formula to calculate effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective interest rate is 27.71%.
