Hi, can somebody tell me what is the formula of effective % cost of discount?
I got this question from OPEN TUITION worksheet on simple settlement discount :
Customers currently take 3 months credit. We are considering offering a discount of 4% for payment within one month. Sales are $12,000,000 p.a. We are paying over draft interest of 20% p.a.Calculate the effective % cost p.a. of the discount. Should we offer the discount?
the answer there is 27.75% and not to offer the discount since it is more than 20%. I dont understand how to apply the formula to get to 27.75%. If anyone can help, I will be most grateful.Thanks.
This is fully explained in our free lectures on the management of receivables.
