    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 50,000

    Assume there are 360 days in year.

    Is the factor’ offer viable?

    You can see the way that I deal with factoring by watching the free lecture on the management of receivables.

    I 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.
