- Kelly expects its sales to be $20 million this year under its current credit policy. The present terms are net 30; the days dales outstanding (DSO) is 65 days; and the bad debt loss percentage is 4%. Also, Kelly’s cost of capital is 14%, and its variable costs total 62% of sales. Since Kelly wants to improve its profitability, a proposal has been made to offer a 2 percent discount for payment within 10 days; that is, change the credit terms to 2/10, net 30. It is predicted that sales would increase by $600,000, and that 55 percent of all customers would take the discount. The new DSO would be 30 days, and the bad debt loss percentage on all sales would fall to 2 percent. (Hint, use incremental approach table) What are the incremental pre-tax profits from this proposal?Sunny Manufacturing is considering extending trade credit to some customers previously considered poor risks. Sales would increase by $220,000 if credit is extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 10 percent will prove to be uncollectible.

- Blossom Inc. currently grants no credit, but it is considering offering new credit terms of net 30. As a result, the price of its product will increase by $2 per unit. The original price per unit is $40. Expected sales will increase by 1,000 units per year. The original sales are 11.000 units. Variable costs will remain at $25 per unit and bad debt losses will amount to $2.000 per year. The firm will finance the additional investment in receivables by using a line of credit, which charges 5-percent interest. The firm's tax rate is 20 percent. Calculate the NPV. (Assume Blossom benefits from the credit policy change indefinitely.) (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.75.

Although these customers will provide P240,000 in additional credit sales, 12% are likely to be uncollectible. The company will also incur P21,000 in additional collection expense. Production and marketing costs represent 72% of sales. The firm is in a 30% tax bracket and has a receivables turnover of six times. No other asset build up will be required to service the new customers. The firm has a 10% desired return on investment. Should it extend credit to these customers and should credit be extended if the receivables tumover drops to 1.5 and all other factors are the same? Can you please show me an explanation and a solution for this? Thank you so much!National Co. has the opportunity to increase its annual sales by P125,000 by selling to a new, riskier group of customers.
