Reese Brothers Publishers Inc (RBP) expects to have sales this year of $15 million under its current credit policy. The present terms are net 30; the days sales outstanding (DSO) is 60 days; and the bad debt loss percentage is 5 percent. Since RBP wants to improve ts profitability, the treasurer has proposed that the credit period be shortened to 15 days. This change would reduce expected sales by $500,000, but it would also shorten the DSO on the remaining sales to 30 days. Expected bad debt losses on the remaining sales vould fall to 3 percent. The variable cost percentage is 60 percent, and the cost of capital is 15 percent. Refer to Exhibit Reese Brothers.
