Question:
Fatima Fashions has annual credit sales of 250,000 units with an average collection period of 70 days. The company has a per unit variable cost of US$20 and a per unit sale price of US$30. Bad debts currently are 5 percent of sales. The firm estimates that a proposed relaxation of credit standards would not affect its 70day average collection period, but would increase bad debts to 7.5 percent of sales, which would increase to 300,000 units per year. Fatima requires a 12 percent re turn on investments. Show all necessary calculations required to evaluate Fatima's proposed relaxation of credit standards.
