Dec 10 Q.3 part c Q.78
Assuming that only 25% of customers take the early settlement discount, what is the maximum early settlement discount that could be offered?
Why is it calculated on the gross benefit of $1050 instead of the net benefit of $831 please (.831/21.9)?June 15 Q.20
Why the net asset value is calculated as total assets less current and long term liabilities instead of total assets less current liabilities please?September 5, 2016 at 7:50 am #3378231. The net benefit of 831 is the net benefit if the discount is 1% (the first part of (c)).
The maximum discount they can afford to give would be when the net benefit was zero (lower discount would mean a benefit; higher discount would mean a loss).
So for a net benefit of zero, the cost of the discount would have to equal the total benefits and therefore be 1,050.September 5, 2016 at 7:52 am #3378252. The question wants the value of shares in the company. It is always equal to the net asset value, which is always total assets less total liabilities.
