Company X sells on a 3/20, net 90, basis. Company Y buys goods with an invoice of $2,000. a. How much can company Y deduct from the bill if it pays on day 20? b. How many extra days of credit can company Y receive if it passes up the cash discount? c. What is the effective annual rate of interest if Y pays on the due date rather than day 20?
a. 2000*3% =60
b. 90-20 =70 days
c. effective annual rate = discount rate/ (1 - discount rate) * 365/(full payment day - discount payment days)
=(1+3/97)^(365/70)-1
=17.21%
