How could bad debts be worked
into the cash budget?Collections would be reduced by theamount of the bad debt losses.For example, if the firm had 3% baddebt losses, collections would totalonly 97% of sales.Lower collections would lead tohigher borrowing requirements.

Types of inventory costsCarrying costs storage and handling costs,insurance, property taxes, depreciation, andobsolescence.
Ordering costs cost of placing orders,shipping, and handling costs.Costs of running short loss of sales orcustomer goodwill, and the disruption of
production schedules.Reducing the average amount of inventorygenerally reduces carrying costs, increasesordering costs, and may increase the costs of
running short.

Elements of credit policy1. Credit Period How long to pay? Shorter
period reduces DSO and average A/R, but itmay discourage sales.
2. Cash Discounts Lowers price. Attracts newcustomers and reduces DSO.
3. Credit Standards Tighter standards tend toreduce sales, but reduce bad debt expense.
Fewer bad debts reduce DSO.4. Collection Policy How tough? Tougher
policy will reduce DSO but may damagecustomer relationships.

The cost of trade credit
A firm buys $3,000,000 net ($3,030,303gross) on terms of 1/10, net 30.
The firm can forego discounts and pay onDay 40, without penalty.
Net daily purchases = $3,000,000 / 365= $8,219.18

Breaking down net and grossexpenditures
Firm buys goods worth $3,000,000. Thatsthe cash price.
They must pay $30,303 more if they donttake discounts.Think of the extra $30,303 as a financingcost similar to the interest on a loan.
Want to compare that cost with the cost ofa bank loan.

Breaking down trade credit
Payables level, if the firm takes discountsPayables = $8,219.18 (10) = $82,192
Payables level, if the firm takes no discountsPayables = $8,219.18 (40) = $328,767

Nominal cost of costly trade credit
The firm loses 0.01($3,030,303)= $30,303 of discounts to obtain
$246,575 in extra trade credit:k NOM = $30,303 / $246,575
= 0.1229 = 12.29%
The $30,303 is paid throughout theyear, so the effective cost of costlytrade credit is higher.

Bank loans
The firm can borrow $100,000 for 1year at an 8% nominal rate.
Interest may be set under one of thefollowing scenarios:

Simple annual interest
Simple interest means no discount oradd-on.
Interest = 0.08($100,000) = $8,000
k NOM = EAR = $8,000 / $100,000 = 8.0%
For a 1-year simple interest loan, k NOM = EAR

Raising necessary funds with adiscount interest loan
Under the current scenario, $100,000 isborrowed but $8,000 is forfeitedbecause it is a discount interest loan.Only $92,000 is available to the firm.If $100,000 of funds are required, thenthe amount of the loan should be:
Amt borrowed = Amt needed / (1 discount)= $100,000 / 0.92 = $108,696

Add-on interest on a 12-monthinstallment loan
Interest = 0.08 ($100,000) = $8,000Face amount = $100,000 + $8,000 = $108,000
Monthly payment = $108,000/12 = $9,000 Avg loan outstanding = $100,000/2 = $50,000 Approximate cost = $8,000/$50,000 = 16.0%
To find the appropriate effective rate, recognizethat the firm receives $100,000 and must makemonthly payments of $9,000. This constitutes anannuity.
