The company will purchase the carpets from a local distributor for $350 each, with the privilege of returning any unsold units for a full refund. Will's Club has offered Grace's Rugs two payment alternatives for the use of space.

Option One: A fixed payment of $5,000 for the sale period
Option Two: 10% of total revenues earned during the sale period

Assume Grace's Rugs will incur no other costs.

       b)For what range of unit sales will Grace's rugs prefer option 2.
C. Briefly explain and interpret your answer to requirement 2.

D. Grace's Rugs predict that 30 carpets per day will be sold on the first three days of the two week sale. The sale starts on a Sunday. On the subsequent 11 days of the sale, sales of carpets will reduce by 10% each day. Prepare a sales budget showing the sales of carpets each day in units and dollars. (Note that Grace's Rugs is conservative and will round down if the percentage calculation results in a fraction.)

E. To meet these sales projections customers have been offered a 'buy now pay later' scheme. Under this scheme it is estimated that 70% of customers will pay in full on the day of purchase for a 10% discount, 20% will pay half immediately and the remaining amount on the last day of the sale for a 5% discount (given on the last day for the total amount), 8% will delay any payment immediately and will pay fully on the last day of the sale and 2% will be bad debts. These bad debts will be sold to a debt collection agency for 50% of the debt value on the last day of the sale. You are required to present the cash collections schedule for the duration of the sale.

F. A friend has contacted Grace's Rugs and asked if they could use some of the local warehouse space during the same two week period to sell their household decorator items. The warehouse store is 200 square meters and they would like to rent 50 square meters from Grace's Rugs. The cost of the local warehouse space for the two week period is $10,000.

b) If the warehouse space cost is allocated based on square meters what cost Will be charged to Grace's Rugs and to her friend.
