- 14. A company plans to tighten its credit policy. The new policy will decrease the average number of days in collection from 75 to 50 days and reduce the ratio of credit sales to total revenue from 70% to 60%. The company estimates that projected sales would be 5% less if the proposed new credit policy were implemented. The firm's short-term interest cost is 10%. Projected sales for the coming year are P100 million. Assume a 360-day year, the increase (decrease) on A/R of this proposed change in credit policy is A. PO B. (P5,000,000) c. (P6,666,6667) D.

The firm currently has annual sales of about $18 million and purchases of $14 million. The firm is considering a plan that would stretch its accounts payable by 20 days.

Assume a 360- day year.arrow_forwardA retail store sells a popular cosmetic called Devine and the store manager was given $140,000 by the corporate office to improve store performance any way she thinks best. The "base case" information is a price of $28 per bottle, a contribution margin of 0.30, a customer defection rate of 17 percent, and a repurchase frequency of five times a year. These improvement funds could be used to (a) increase the contribution margin to 0.39 or (b) reduce the customer defection rate to 12 percent or (c) increase the repurchase frequency to six times per year. Assume all other variables remain at the base case level for each of the three improvement options. Use the Excel template VLC to calculate the VLC for each option and summarize your answers using the table below. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
