Collection estimates are as follows: 10 percent within the month of sale, 75 percent in the month following the sale, and 15 percent in the second month following the sale. Labor and supplies estimates also appear in the worksheet below. Payments for labor and supplies are typically made during the month following the one in which these costs have been incurred.
General and administrative salaries will amount to approximately $27,000 a month; lease payments under long-term lease contracts will be $9,000 a month; depreciation charges will be $36,000 a month; miscellaneous expenses will be $2,700 a month; income tax payments of $63,000 will be due in both September and December; and a progress payment of $180,000 on a new building must be paid in October.

Suppose one of the suppliers to Seattle Health System offers terms of 3/20, net 60.
a. When does the system have to pay its bills from this supplier?

Langley Clinics, Inc., buys $400,000 in medical supplies a year (at gross prices) from its major supplier, Consolidated Services, which offers Langley terms of 2.5/10, net 45. Currently, Langley is paying thesupplier the full amount due on Day 45, but it is considering taking the discount, paying on Day 10, andreplacing the trade credit with a bank loan that has a 10 percent annual cost.
a. What is the amount of free trade credit that Langley obtains from Consolidated Services? (Assume360 days per year throughout this problem.)
b. What is the amount of costly trade credit?
