Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 5AP

Yes, Company SM must take the advantage of 1/1,n/30 purchase discount.

Explanation of Solution

Company SM is borrowing money from the bank at the rate of 11%. If the Company SM takes the advantage of cash discount, then the company saves 1% by making the payment within the 20days. The bank is charging 11% per year for the loan borrowed by Company SM. hence, the bank charges nearly 0.6% (11%×20Days365Days) for the 20days period. Since, the cost of passing up the cash discount is larger than the cost of short-term borrowing, Company SM should take the advantage of cash discount.
