Hello Peter,
First of all, thanks a lot for your support and for making OT happening.
I am avery confused because when I have attempted questions about offering a discount (management of receivables) I have never been bothered to use any formula. I have seen people in the forum asking how to use that formula and I have seen the formula in the BPP passcards. Is it essential to know the formula in order to do the Questions? If so, could you please give me a brief example?. Very appreciated.
Thanks
Amarain
Hi Amarain,
I believe you will find the answer to your question contained within my reply to “LISA83” ,2 days ago. Have a look at her question and then my answer.
Th e SIMPLEST FORMULA THAT I PREFER TO USE IS:
Discount
100 – Discount 365
Reduction in Payment Days
I am having trouble with this text box to input the formula for you but In other words, it is the Discount divided by 100 minus the Discount … all multiplied by 365 divided by the reduction in payment days.
Hope this + the other posting give you the clarity…… Peter
Many thanks! Much appreciated
Amarain
