Sir
We find Effective cost % of
Receivables
In order to see whther it’s worth offering an early settlement discount or obtaining a loan from the bankThen what about effective cost % of payables
What is happening here sirNovember 1, 2021 at 2:59 pm #639684For receivables it is not normally considering taking a loan from the bank – it is normally to compare the cost of offering a discount with the interest saved by reducing the overdraft.
For payables we compare the cost of delaying payment and therefore losing a discount with the cost saving on the overdraft by delaying payment.
This is explained in my free lectures on the management of receivables and of payables.
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

Thank you
