    How do i do the following question below ? Usually we are the one offering the discount, but in this case we are one taking the discount. I tried using the same method but couldn’t get the correct answer.

    Qn) Arc co has recently purchased goods costing $12 000 from a supplier. The supplier has offered credit terms of 40 days, with a 3% early settlement discount of Arc pays within 15 days. Arc Co finances its working capital with an overdraft that costs 10% per annum. Assume 365 days in one year.

    What is the net saving, or net cost, at the normal time of payment of taking a cash discount?

    The answer is : Net saving $278

    The benefit of the discount is 3% x 12,000 = 360

    The interest cost is 25/365 x 10% x 12,000 = 82
