Henderson Office Supply is considering a more liberal credit policy to increase sales, but expects that 9 percent of the new accounts will be uncollectible. Collection costs are 6 percent of new sales, production and selling costs are 74 percent, and accounts receivable turnover is four times. Assume income taxes of 20 percent and an increase in sales of $65,000. No other asset build-up will be required to service the new accounts.

e. Given the income determined in part b and the investment determined in part d, should Henderson extend more liberal credit terms?
