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.

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).September 26, 2016 at 10:02 pm #341829I haven’t watched yet as Chapter 1 – Chapter 5 are self-study. I will post the question to Ask the Tutor Forum.
Thank you
