Hello John, Hope you are fine. I need a help from you. I want to know what is the basis of the percentage. Is it based on Credit Sales Revenue. Lets say the % cost of early settlement discount = 44 % With what figure shall this percentage be multiplied with to find the actual cost of early settlement discount?
If you watch my free lectures you will see that there are either ‘simple’ discounts, in which case you only really need to calculate the equivalent annual % in order to decide whether or not the discount is worth taking, or – much more likely – we need to take several factors into account and calculate the $ costs and benefits per annum, In this second case we con’t need (and can’t calculate) and annual percentage.
