The Bimbo Corporation has been experiencing a decline in sales relative to its major competitors. Because Bimbo is confident about the quality of its products, it suspects that this sales loss may reflect its relatively stringent credit standards and terms. The firm currently has credit sales of $80 million annually. With current credit terms of "net 20," its average collection period is now 30 days. Bad-debt losses are 2 percent of credit sales. The firm's variable cost ratio is 0.9 , and its required pretax return on recelvables and inventory investments is 10 percent. Bimbo plans to change its credit terms to " 2/10, net 30 ." It expects 10 percent of its customers to take advantage of the cash discount. Bimbo also plans to relax credit standards and take on riskier accounts. This action is expected to increase credit sales by 30 percent. Bad-debt losses are expected to increase to 3 percent of credit sales, and the average collection period is expected to become 35 days. The company also estimates that an additional investment in inventory of $4million is required because of the anticipated sales increase. Determine the net effect of this plan on the pretax profits of Bimbo. Assume there are 365 days per year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Enter your answer in whole dollars. For example, an answer of $1.20 million should be entered as 1,200,000, not 1.20 . Use minus () sign for negative figure.
