This is a sum from the BPP Revision Kit, Q6, Q page no.8, answer page no. 74.
Here since the customer wil have to penalty for failing to make the payment within the allocated time he will have to make a penalty payment, so in the solution why has this penalty payment been deducted. It is an income to the company, right ? and hence should be added.
May 21, 2011 at 1:31 pm #71614There is no mention of any penalty payments.
If customers pay early then they get a discount, which means they pay us less.May 21, 2011 at 1:32 pm #71615Sorry – I was looking at the wrong question!!
May 21, 2011 at 1:34 pm #71616It is us who will pay the penalty – not the customer.
We pay a penalty if we fail to meet guarantees (which has a probability of 5%)May 26, 2011 at 6:04 am #71617Okay I thought they were talking about the customer not paying within 60days, hence triggering a penalty payment. I didn’t think it was us who had to make the penalty for not delivering in time.
Thank You very much for your time and help.May 29, 2011 at 4:10 pm #71618YOu are welcome.
November 9, 2012 at 1:59 pm #71619what mean by
the ‘worst case’ scenario in one year is that a penalty of $420,000 is payable (more than 5% of operating profit).
how 5% of of operating profit ? how it is calculated , if there is any help ?
November 10, 2012 at 9:05 pm #71620They actually mean more than 5% of the extra profit generated by entering into the agreement. (Its not actually a very good question – it was not an exam question, BPP invented it!)
