Pedro Corp. currently has sales of P2,000,000, and its days sales outstanding is 2 week. The financial manager estimates that offering longer credit terms would increase the days sales outstanding to 3 weeks and increase the sales by 50%.

Use 360 days per year. a. What is the incremental increase in the balance of AR? b. What is the Change in carrying cost? Indicate if an increase or decrease
