Question

Grunewald Industries sells on terms of 3/10, net 30. Gross sales last year were $4,877,000, and accounts receivable averaged $403,000. Half of Grunewald's customers paid on the 10th day and took discounts. What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit to Grunewald's nondiscount customers? (Hint: Calculate sales/day based on a 365-day year; then get average receivables of discount customers; then find the DSO for the nondiscount customers.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Nominal cost % Effective cost %

Explanation / Answer

Sales per day = $13,361.65

Discount sales = 0.5($13,361.65)

Discount sales = $6,680.82

A/R attributable to discount customers = $6,680.825(10)

A/R attributable to discount customers = $66,808.25

A/R attributable to nondiscount customers = Total A/R - Discount customers
