    Hi
    I’m reading ACCA Technique Article: Alternative Receivables Collection Techniques. Can anyone let me know detailed calculation of Finance Saving on Reduced Receivables Collection for the following question:

    Velmin Co has a turnover of $700,000. Receivable days are currently 48 despite the company only offering 30-days’ credit and bad debts are currently 3% of turnover. Velmin Co finances its receivables using its overdraft which has an annual interest cost of 8%.

    Velmin is considering the use of a factor. The factor would charge 4% of turnover for a non?recourse agreement and would expect to reduce receivable days to 34 and bad debts to 2%. The factor would lend Velmin 75% of the outstanding receivables and would charge Velmin 1% above their current overdraft interest cost. It is anticipated that using the factor would reduce administration costs by $6,000 per annum.

    If you wish for me to answer then you should ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum.

    Have you watched my free lectures on receivables management?
    (Our lectures are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well).

    I haven’t watched yet as Chapter 1 – Chapter 5 are self-study. I will post the question to Ask the Tutor Forum.

    Thank you
