    hello sir, can you please tell me what to do with the bad debts in this question? what i wanted to know is that should we take into account the fall in bad debts when when we are dealing with non-recourse factoring such as in this question?

    Ken Ltd has received an offer from a factor to manage its trade receivables in a servicing
    and factor financing agreement.
    It is expected that the factor will reduce the average trade receivables period of Coco Ltd to
    35 days; to reduce bad debts from 1.9% of turnover to 0.85% of turnover; and to enable Ken
    Ltd in making a savings of $175,000 per year in administration costs.
    The factor would make an advance of 85% of the revised book value of trade receivables to
    Ken Ltd and it would charge 10%. A fee of 0.9% of turnover on a with-recourse basis or a
    fee of 1.5% of turnover on a non-recourse basis would be charged by the factor.
    Ken Ltd currently pays 7.5% on its overdraft facilities. Assume that there are 365 working
    days in each year and that all sales and purchases are on credit.
    Calculate the value of the factor’s offer on a non-recourse basis. Turnover $116790000, Current Receivable-21000000

    With non-recourse factoring, the factor suffers any bad debts. Therefore the company will suffer no bad debts if they use non-recourse factoring.

    I do explain this in my free lectures 🙂

    You are welcome, although I have just noticed that you posted this question in the Paper MA forum.

    It is not examinable in Paper MA – it is examined in Paper FM !!
