Hi,
Question related to reduction in trade account receivable.
Is it correct to deduct the discount from the first section of the answer below and not to deduct in the second ?
1) revised Trade receivable taking discount = ''($28,800,000 - $108000)'' * 75% * 30/360 = $1,793,250. ($108000 is the discount)
2) revised Trade receivable not taking discount = ''$28,800,000'' * 25% * 51/360 = $1,020,000
Total revised trade receivable = $1,793,250 + $1,020,000 = $2,813,250
Current receivable = $24m * 51/360 = $3,400,000
Reduction in receivable = $3.4m – ($1,793,250 + $1,020,000)
= $586,750
Finance cost = $586,750 * 4%
= $23,470
The examiners answer is $23,200.
Kindly advice
Ask the Tutor ACCA FM
Sept/Dec 2015 question 3
As I explain in my free lectures on this, the examiner has said that either way will get full marks. (In some of his answers he does it one way and in some he does it the other
way :-) )
Noted. Thank you
You are welcome :-)
