    Hello Sir,
    I was working on extension of credit and the below question is from BPP study kit:
    Enticement Co currently expects sales of $50,000 a month. Variable costs of sales are $40,000 a month
    (all payable in the month of sale). It is estimated that if the credit period allowed to accounts receivable
    were to be increased from 30 days to 60 days, sales volume would increase by 20%. All customers would
    be expected to take advantage of the extended credit. If the cost of capital is 12.5% a year, is the extension
    of the credit period justifiable in financial terms?
    My question : How did they calculated Accounts receivable after implementing the proposal (2 months) – 120,000
    My calculation : 60*60,000/360 = 10,000
    Isnt it should be calculated like in the above example of the page in the book as in that they calculate it for Average inventory and subtracted it with current avg inventory , why there is a different approach followed here ?

    You have calculated the daily sales by dividing the monthly sales (60,000) by the number of days per year (360).

    You should have divided the yearly sales (12 x 60,000) by the 360 days in the year, and then you would get the same answer as the book 🙂
