Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount % / (100% − Discount %)] × [365 / (Final due date − Discount period)]
a. Nominal cost of trade credit = (1/99) × [365 / (30 - 15)] = 0.2458 or 24.58%
b. Nominal cost of trade credit = (2/98) × [365 / (55 - 10)] = 0.1655 or 16.55%
c. Nominal cost of trade credit = (3/97) × [365 / (45 - 10)] = 0.3225 or 32.25%
d. Nominal cost of trade credit = (2/98) × [365 / (45 - 10)] = 0.2128 or 21.28%
e. Nominal cost of trade credit = (2/98) × [365 / (40 - 15)] = 0.2980 or 29.80%
