Explain why the bad debt percentage or any other similar credit-control percentage is not the ultimate measure of success in the management of accounts receivable. What is the key consideration?
Oral Roberts Dental Supplies has annual sales of \(5,200,000. Ninety percent are on credit. The firm has \)559,000 in accounts receivable. Compute the value of the average collection period.
What is the significance to working capital management of matching sales and production?
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.
c. Should Henderson liberalize credit if a 16 percent after-tax return on investment is required?
Bombs Away Video Games Corporation has forecasted the following monthly sales:
January | \(100,000 |
February | \)93,000 |
March | \(25,000 |
April | \)25,000 |
May | \(20,000 |
June | \)35,000 |
July | \(45,000 |
August | \)45,000 |
September | \(55,000 |
October | \)85,000 |
November | \(105,000 |
December | \)123,000 |
Total annual sales | \(756,000 |
Bombs Away Video Games sells the popular Strafe and Capture video game. It sells for \)5 per unit and costs \(2 per unit to produce. A level production policy is followed. Each month’s production is equal to annual sales (in units) divided by 12.
Of each month’s sales, 30 percent are for cash and 70 percent are on account. All accounts receivable are collected in the month after the sale is made.
c. Determine a cash payments schedule for January through December. The production costs of \)2 per unit are paid for in the month in which they occur. Other cash payments, besides those for production costs, are $45,000 per month.
