Use the following information for questions 14 to 16:

Sonya Company is considering changing its credit terms from 2/15, net 30 to 3/10, net 30 in order to speed collections. At present, 40% of Sonya’s
customers take the 2% discount. Under the new term, discount customers are expected to rise to 50%. Regardless of the credits terms, half of the
customers who do not take the discount are expected to pay on time, whereas the remainder will pay 10 days late. The change does not involve a
relaxation of credit standards, therefore, bad debt losses are not expected to rise above their present 2% level. However, the more generous cash
discount terms are expected to increase sales from P 2 million to P 2.6 million per year. Sonya’s variable cost ratio is 75%, the interest rate on
funds invested in accounts receivable is 9%, and the firm’s income tax rate is 40%.
