Your firm just purchased $10,000 in goods from your supplier on trade credit terms of 0.5/10 net 60. Your opportunity cost of funds is 10%. What is the PV of waiting the 60 days to make payment?
Solution:-
Given,
Goods purchased = $10,000
Oppurtunity cost = 10% or 0.1
Time period = 60 days
Present value * (1+rate)time = Future value
P.V * [1+0.1*(60/365)]1 = $10,000
P.V * (1+0.01643) = $10,000
P.V * 1.01643 = $10,000
P.V = $10,000 / 1.01643
= $9,838.3558
Therefore the Present value is $9,838.3558
