To determine

Explain whether Company S should take the advantage of cash discount even if it borrow money at the annual rate of 12 percent.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 5BP

Yes, Company SM must take the advantage of 1/1,n/30 purchase discount.

Explanation of Solution

Company S is borrowing money from the bank at the rate of 12%. If the Company S takes the advantage of cash discount, then the company can save 1% by making the payment within the 20days. The bank is charging 11% per year for the loan borrowed by Company S. hence, the bank charges nearly 0.66% (12%×20Days365Days) for the 20days period. Since, the cost of passing up the cash discount is larger than the cost of short-term borrowing; Company S should take the advantage of cash discount.
