    Hi,I am studying with a class mate and we cannot agree on the following part of the question
    “The factoring company would charge an annual fee of 1.6% of credit sales. The company would benefit from savings in administration costs of €48,000 per annum and a reduction in bad debts of 60%. The proposed factoring agreement is with recourse, which means that the company still bears the loss of bad debts from credit sales.”

    It though there is a reduction in bad debts of 60%, the company would still have to buy them back from the factoring company, so I put them in as below. Was I wrong to do this.

    Current Policy Total
    Finance Cost €26,000,000 x 55/365 x 7.5% €293,836
    Bad Debts €26,000,000 x 2.8% €728,000
    Overall Cost of Current Policy €1,021,836

    Proposed Factoring Policy Total
    Annual Factor Fee €26,000,000 x 1.6% €416,000
    [Trade Receiveables] €26,000,000 x 35/365 = €2,493,151
    Finance Cost €2,493,151 x 90% x 12% €269,260
    Finance Cost €2,493,151 x 10% x 7.5% € 18,699
    Bed Debts with recourse as Haylie plc will still bear the
    loss of bad debts from Credit Sale €728,000 €728,000
    Less : Savings in Administration -€48,000
    Overall Cost of Propsed Factoring Policy €1,383,959

    Recommendation :
    Overall Cost of the Proposed Factoring €1,383,959
    Less Overall Cost of Current Policy €1,021,836
    Net Benefit/Disadvantage of Proposed Change in Policy -€362,123

    Any help on this would be great. Thanks so much.
