Effective annual cost of offering a discount

MMoses11y ago
Help with this question in the Mock exam, 6) A Company has sales of 200M per year. Currently on average customers take 40 days to pay. The company is considering offering a discount of 1% for payment within 15 days and expects 60% of the customers will take advantage of the discount. What is the effective annual cost of offering the discount? How do we arrive at 15.8% as the answer?
