A company with annual sales of $22,000,000 is considering changing its payment terms from net 40 to net 30 to encourage customers to pay more promptly. The company forecasts that customers would respond by paying on day 30 rather than day 45 as at present (assume a 360 day year) but would decrease their purchases by $400,000 per year. The company also forecasts that its idle cash balance would decrease by $100,000 and administrative costs would be reduced by $50,000 per year. The company's variable costs average 65% of sales, it is in the 35% marginal tax bracket, and it has a 12% cost of capital.
