    Hi John,

    Please could you explain me 2 things in this question Part C

    A) in case of with Recorse I calculated the saving in bad debts to be 0.6%of 21300 =128
    However in the solution it is (0.9-0.6% of the revenue? Why… I know we have to look just the additional savings but reducing bad debts from 0.9 to 0.6 % in its of not additional.

    Point B) the Change in advance I took as 80% of new receiable of 2042=1634 *(0.07-.03)=65.36

    However in solution it’s 2042*0.8*0.02 why?

    Can you explain these two points

    Many thanks,
    Noureen

    A. They are currently losing 0.9% as bad debts. If they have with-recourse factoring then they will be losing only 0.6%. So there is a saving of the difference.

    B. It is 0.8 because it applies to 80% of the receivables. It is 0.02 because the factor is charging 2% more interest that the overdraft rate.
