    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?
