Consider the following situations: 1. Your company has been offered credit terms of 4/30, net 90 days.

Suppose the credit terms offered to your firm by its suppliers are 2/10, net 30 days. Your firm is not taking discounts, but is paying after 25 days instead of waiting until Day 30. Since your firm is neither taking discounts nor paying on the due date, what is the effective annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit? Assume a 365-day year. (5 points) 3. A company spends €319,600 a week to pay bills and maintains a lower cash balance limit of €65,000. The applicable interest rate is 3.26 percent and the fixed cost of transferring funds is €43.

The usual clearing time for these checks is 3.2 days. Meanwhile, the company is receiving payments from its customers each day, in the form of checks, totaling €59,948.
