amount of trade credit?
3. How much is the free trade credit?
4. How much is the extra, additional or costly trade credit?
5. How much is the annual cost of the extra credit?
6. What is the nominal annual cost of trade credit?
7. What is the effective annual cost of the trade credit?
SOLUTION:
List Price ¿ P200 per calculator
Discount ¿ (P6) ¿ 200 × 0.03
Net Price ¿ P194 per calculator
If BMK did not take the discount and delayed the payment until 45th day:
Accounts Payable = (45 days) (10 calculators) (P194 net price) = P87,300
The free trade credit is P29,100, which is the credit taken during the discount
period.
The extra, additional or costly trade credit is P58,200, which is the excess over the
free credit.
