its 250-work day year. All sales are on credit. For the coming year, it plans to accept customers who have less desirable
credit ratings. Sales are expected to increase by 10%. Average collection period will increase from 40 days to 50 days. Bad
debts
will increase from 1% to 3% of sales. Operating expenses will stay the same. For profitability analysis, ABC uses an 8%
effective interest rate. Compute for the required by filling up the supporting table.
