(Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete and correct. Average daily collection float $ 30,680 a-2. How do you interpret your answer? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete and correct. On average, there is 30,680 that is uncollected and not available to the firm. b-1. What is the weighted average delay? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete and correct. Weighted average delay 2.52 days b-2. Calculate the average daily float. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete and correct. Average daily float $ 30,680 C. How much should the firm be willing to pay to eliminate the float? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete and correct. Maximum payment $ 30,680 d. If the interest rate is 7 percent per year, calculate the daily cost of the float. (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete and correct. Daily cost of the float $ 5.68 e. How much should the firm be willing to pay to reduce the weighted average float to 1.5 days? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
