Alice’s second initiative calls for Fresh & Fruity to obtain a bank loan of a sufficient size to enable the company to take all suppliers’ discounts. What is the minimum size of this loan? (Hint: To take all suppliers’ discounts, the average payment period must be 10 days, and net purchases will be purchases – (Purchases from Figure 1 x .02). Assume that all this happens, and solve the following formula for the new accounts payable balance, using:
Accounts payable = Average payment period x Purchase per day*
*Based on net purchases/360.
Now compare the accounts payable you just solved with the new accounts payable balance you found in question 3. The difference is the size of the loan that is required.
Assume that Fresh &Fruity does obtain an 8 percent loan for one year in the amount you solved in question 5, and it reduces its accounts payable balance accordingly. Now the company is taking 2 percent discounts on all purchases and paying 8 percent a year on the loan…
