Cost of Trade Credit
Grunewald Industries sells on terms of 3/10, net 30. Gross sales
last year were $4,964,000 and accounts receivable averaged
$476,000. Half of Grunewald's customers paid on the 10th day and
took discounts. What are the nominal and effective costs of trade
credit to Grunewald's nondiscount customers? (Hint:
Calculate daily sales based on a 365-day year, calculate the
average receivables for discount customers, and then find the DSO
for the nondiscount customers.) Do not round intermediate
calculations....
