Working Capital - June2011 - Q4

AAlicia_2tt10y ago
Good day, I was attempting the Working Capital question from the June 2011 exam - Q4 b(ii) - Early Settlement Question: Why is the Annual Cost of Borrowing of 4.5% p.a. calculated on the 'Reduction in Payables' ($147,945) and not on the Revised Level of Payables ($73,973)?

The answer has calculated the increase in the financing cost. What you could have done is calculate the financing cost of the current payables, and the financing cost of the revised payables. The difference between then would be the increase in the financing cost.
