Han Corp's sales last year were $300,000, and its year-end receivables were $49,000. The firm sells on terms that call for customers to pay 30 days after the purchase, but some delay payment beyond Day 30. On average, how many days late do customers pay? Base your answer on this equation: DSO - Allowed credit period = Average days late, and use a 365-day year when calculating the DSO. Assume all sales to be on credit. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Peanut Inc. is evaluating whether to change its credit terms from 2/10 net 30 to 3/10 net 30. At present, 50% of Peanut's sales are paid at day 10. Regardless of the credit terms, half of the customers who do not take the discount are expected to pay on day 30 whereas the remainder will pay 15 days late (no bad debts exist).

Peanut's variable cost ratio is 75% and its cost of funds is 8.7%. All production costs are paid on the day of the sale. Should the change be made?

Yen Corporation will be relaxing its credit policy. Under the old policy of 2/10, n/25, sales total P5,000,000. Around 40% take the discount while the remainder pay on the 25th day. The proposed policy is 3/10, n/40. The increase in the cash discount and the payment term will like result to a P6,000,000 sales. This is expected to result to average days in receivables of 26.5 days (45% will be settled on the 10h day and the remainder on the 40h day). Variable cost rate will remain at 75%. The weighted average cost of capital is 15%. Using a 360-day year, how much is the annual net benefit/cost of this change? iness 28°C
