Under the new policy, sales will decrease to $104,000, and accounts receivable will average $13,000. Compute the days sales outstanding (DSO) under the existing policy and the proposed policy.

- Consider two local banks. Bank A has 100 loans outstanding, each for $1.3 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 3% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $130 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 3% probability of not being repaid. Calculate the following: a. The expected overall payoff of each bank. b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank. a. The expected overall payoff of each bank.

Each loan has a 3% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $83 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 3% probability of not being repaid. Which bank faces less risk? Why? (Select the best choice below.) O A. The expected payoff is higher for Bank A, but is riskier. I prefer Bank B. B. The expected payoffs are the same, but Bank A is less risky. I prefer Bank A. C.

Its commercial bank will lend 70 percent of the pledged receivables at 2.5 percentage points above the prime rate, which is currently 10 percent. In addition, the bank charges a service fee equal to 2 percent of the pledged receivables. Both interest and the service fee are payable at the end of the borrowing period.
