Dear Sir,
Credit sales are 26,500,000. Current trade receivables term is 60 days. Current bad debts are 1% of credit sales. Overdraft fibance interest is 5%.
Factor offer:
1) decrease trade receivables term from 60 to 35 days
2) factor provides an advance at 80% rate, and interest in this case will be 7%
3) factor cost is 0.75%
4) saving in bad debts of 70% as a result
5) saving in admin cost of 50,000Assume there are 360 days in year.
Is the factor’ offer viable?
June 8, 2015 at 6:32 am #255024You can see the way that I deal with factoring by watching the free lecture on the management of receivables.
June 8, 2015 at 6:35 am #255025Have watched the lecture, Sir, just uncertain about this one :/

June 8, 2015 at 12:33 pm #255071I am sorry, but I cannot spend my time answering questions when you have already taken the exam 🙂
Nothing I do will change your marks.When the ACCA publish the exam, then I will provide my suggested answers.
