Forums › ACCA Forums › ACCA FM Financial Management Forums › Workin Capital Mgt: Receivables
kaplan page 234: Paisley . Anual cost of financing receivables is given as receivable bal * interest rate $4m*12%= $480k for a co with $20m annual credit sales. My problem is: why not prorate this over the days receivables are outstanding as follows: 4m * 0.12/365* receivables days of 73 = $96k. Please Help
You would be ‘double counting’.
$4M is 73 days of receivables.
On average there will be $4M receivables throughout the year (as one customer pays another customer is being sold goods on credit).
Enlightening. Thank you
