22.15% Interest for 1 year 1M x 12% = 120,000 Average Principal: [1M + (1M/12)] ÷ 2 = 541,667 Estimated effective rate 120,000/541,667 = 22.15% Alternative solution for approximate effective rate:(2 x No. of payments x Interest) ÷ [(1 + No. of payments) x Principal] (2 x 12 x P120,000) ÷ (13 x P1M) = 22.15%

Perlas Company borrowed from a bank an amount of P1,000,000. The bank charged a 12% stated rate in an add-on arrangement, payable in 12 equal monthly installments.

75,000 less Discount 5M x 0.02 = 100,000 Interest (5M x 0.98 x 0.12) x 15/360 = 24,500 Savings = 75,500

A company has accounts payable of P5 million with terms of 2% discount within 15 days, net 30 days (2/15 net 30). It can borrow funds from a bank at an annual rate of 12%, or it can wait until the 30th day when it will receive revenues to cover the payment. If it borrows funds on the last day of the discount period in order to obtain the discount, its total cost will be

Pay on the 10th The cost of discounts missed is 12.3% which is more than the 8 percent that the bank charges. The company should borrow on the 10th, pay the invoice, and finance at 8% for the next 30 days (pay off the bank on the 40th).Cost of foregoing discount: (1 ÷ 99) x (360 ÷ 30) = 12.31%

96,875 Change in average accounts receivables: Planned: 2,200,000/360x30 - 183,333 Present: 2,500,000/360x45 - 312,500 Decrease in AR balance - 129,667 Variable cost ratio - 75% Decrease in investment in AR - 96.875

Currently, La Carlota Company has annual sales of P2,500,000. Its average collection period is 45 days, and bad debts are 3 percent of sales. The credit and collection manager is considering instituting a stricter collection policy, whereby bad debts would be reduced to 1.5 percent of total sales, and the average collection period would fall to 30 days. However, sales would also fall by an estimated P300,000 annually. Variable costs are 75 percent of sales and the cost of carrying receivables is 10 percent. Assume a tax rate of 40 percent and 360 days per year. What would be the decrease in investment in receivables if the change were made?

123,750 Number of units to be purchased in advance: 90,000 - 7,500 = 82,500 Average investments in working capital: 82,500 x 0.5* x P25 = 1,031,250 Opportunity cost 1,031,250 x 0.12 = 123,750 *The average investment is one-half (82,500 + 0) ÷ 2

In order to ensure availability of these zippers, Diesel is considering the purchase of all these 90,000 units on January 1. Assuming Diesel can invest cash at 12%, the company's opportunity cost of purchasing the 90,000 units at the beginning of the year is

19,550 Ordering costs 4 x P200 = 800 Carrying costs (50,000 ÷ 2 x 0.75) = 18,750 Total = 19,550

Durable Furniture Company uses about 200,000 yards of a particular fabric each year. The fabric costs P25 per yard. The current policy is to order the fabric four times a year. Incremental ordering costs are about P200 per order, and incremental carrying costs are about P0.75 per yard, much of which represents the opportunity cost of the funds tied up in inventory. How much total annual costs are associated with the current inventory policy?

400 units 100 1750 x .30 x 20 orders = 10,500 200 1750 x .05 x 20 = 4,900 300 1750 x.05x20 = 1,750 400 1750 x.01x20 = 350 Optimal safety stock is 400-unit level with a cost of only P2,350 cost.

The probabilities of a stockout at various levels of safety stock are: 0. - 0.50 100. - 0.30 200. - 0.14 300. - 0.05 400. - 0.01 The optimal safety stock level for the company based on the units of safety stock level above is

3,624 Purchase discount 10,000 x 0.02 x 200 purchases - 4,800 Interest on borrowed money - 9,800 x 0.12 = 1,176 Savings = 3,624 Number of purchases: 360 days/15-day interval = 200

Every 15 days a company receives P10,000 worth of raw materials from its suppliers. The credit terms for these purchases are 2/10, net 30, and payment is made on the 30th day after each delivery. Thus, the company is considering a 1-year bank loan for P9,800 (98% of the invoice amount). If the effective annual interest rate on this loan is 12%, what will be the net peso savings over the year by borrowing and then taking the discount on the materials?

Narra Company is considering a switch to level production. Cost efficiencies will occur under level production and after tax cost would decline by P70,000 but inventory would increase from P1,000,000 to P1,800,000. Narra would have to finance the extra inventory at a cost of 10.5 percent.What is the maximum interest rate that makes level production feasible?

300 units The optimal safety stock level represents the level that gives the lowest sum of stock out costs and additional carrying costs. Based on the computation below, the lowest combined costs is P3,340, corresponding to 300-unit levelFirst compute the stockout costs based on given probability of demand. Starting with 100-unit level as safety stock, if the additional demand is 200, the company has stockout of 100 units. 100: (100x32*x0.25)+(200x32x0.35)+(300x32x0.20)+(100x9) = 4,960 200: (100x32x0.35)+(200x32x0.20)+(200x9) = 4,200 300: (100 x 31 x 0.20) + (300 x 9) = 3,340 400: (400 x 9) = 3,600 stockout per unit x 8 orders per year.

Sonata Company is considering changing its credit terms from 2/15, net 30 to 3/10, net 30 in order to speed collections. At present, 40 percent of Sonata Company's customers take the 2 percent discount. Under the new term, discount customers are expected to rise to 50 percent.
