Kim Mitchell, the new credit manager of the Vinson Corporation,was alarmed to find that Vinson sells on credit terms of net 90days while industry-wide credit terms have recently been lowered tonet 30 days. On annual credit sales of $2.24 million, Vinsoncurrently averages 95 days of sales in accounts receivable.Mitchell estimates that tightening the credit terms to 30 dayswould reduce annual sales to $2,115,000, but accounts receivablewould drop to 35 days of sales and the savings on investment inthem should more than overcome any loss in profit. Assume thatVinson’s variable cost ratio is 85%, taxes are 40%, and theinterest rate on funds invested in receivables is 25%.The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online filebelow.
