    The document contains several problems related to receivables management. It discusses how extending credit periods and improving collection efforts can increase a company's income before tax. For example, Problem 3 shows that by extending the collection period from 45 to 75 days, the company's incremental income before tax increases by P4.73 million. Problem 5 analyzes the costs and benefits of doubling collection personnel. It finds that with a cost of funds of 10%, there would be a small net disadvantage of P10,000 from this change. The document also covers calculating effective discount rates on credit purchases and how credit ratings can reduce bad debt expenses.

    Return on assets = P7,350,000 / P54,736,666 = 13.43% e) Yes, the company will be better off financially after the change in credit policy as indicated by an increase in ROA from 12.5% to 13.43%. However, it should be noted that the nature and cost of financing the current asset expansion have not been considered. These may have an impact on cost of doing business and eventually on the return on assets.

    [Problem 9] 1. Effective discount rate [(360/14)x(1%/99%)] Effective interest rate: Amount borrowed (P99,000/85%) P116,471 EIR [(P116,471 x 85%) / P99,000] Advantage of taking the discount per year 2.

    10.00% 26.36% 9.09% 10.00 (0.91%)

    3.

    Using a 60-day payment period increases the length of time to avail the discount, hence, effectively reducing the discount rate. This makes answer in letter "b" in favor of not taking the discount and not borrowing from the bank to take the discount. It does not give added benefit to the National Corporation.
