Accounting

Question 1 Mafube Ltd is considering selling on credit and will require customers to pay within 90 days. The company has been selling on a cash basis up to now. The company expects to increase sales from 6 000 units to 8 000 units per month. The variable cost is R100 per unit and the selling price is R140 per unit. These will not change. Variable costs are payable in the same month as the sale. The cost of financing is 1% per month. Bad debts are expected to be zero as the company has only a few customers who have very strong credit ratings. The current date is 1 May 20x5 and cash receipts and sales occur at the end of each month. Set out the cash flows for the months of May, June, July and August. What is the NPV of changing its credit policy? If the company has an opening bank balance of R900 000, indicate the expected closing bank balance or overdraft financing required by the company over the next four months. (20 Marks)
