Answer: $50,301
Explanation:
If they offered the new terms of 2/10, net 30 then 45 percent of their customers would pay on day 10 with the remainder paying on average in 32 days.
The collection period would therefore be;
= 0.45 * 10 + 0.55 * 32
= 22.1 days
Currently the Average Daily sales are;
= Average Receivables/ Average collection period
= 211,410/29
= $7,290
With the new collection period their Average receivables would be;
= 7,290 * 22.1
= $161,109
Potential cash to be freed up = Current Receivables - New receivables
= 211,410 - 161,109
= $50,301
