Kayla's Kayaks is also evaluating the extension of credit to a new customer, Ray's River Guides. Kayla estimates that this new customer would add $50,000 in additional credit sales, with 5% likely to be uncollectible. She estimates that she will incur $5,000 in additional collection expenses. Kayla's production and marketing costs represent 65% of her sales and the company is in the 30% tax bracket. She will not need any other asset buildup to service this new customer. Kayla's average collection period is 90 days and she has an 8% desired return. Should Kayla accept this new customer? Please provide her with the applicable calculations to back up your recommendation. Additionally, if you recommend that she accept this new customer, please explain the risks of doing so, specifically in terms of the percentage estimates she has given to you. If you recommend that she not accept this new customer, please give Kayla some ideas about what she could do to make this proposition more favorable (again, think in terms of the estimates she has given you).

Kayla just signed a contract to purchase her inventory exclusively from one vendor. The contract allows for terms of 3/15, net 90. Kayla estimates that she will need to borrow $150,000 to take the discount. Her bank will lend money for 75 days at an interest cost of $2,000. Should Kayla borrow the money to take the discount? Or does it make more sense for her to not take the discount and just pay her invoice within 90 days? Back up your recommendations with your calculations.

Finally, as a consultant, your billing rate is $250/hour. How much does Kayla owe you for your work on this project?
