Houma Heirloom Seed Company (HHSC), a wholesaler of seeds and plant nursery products, currently sells on terms of net 45 to its customers but is experiencing a days sales outstanding (DSO) of 105 days. In an effort to reduce this delay, HHSC’s management is considering implementing its first cash discount. The revised credit terms, 4/25 net 45, are expected to reduce its DSO to 75 days. HHSC expects 12% of its customers to take the discount, but it does not expect its inventory level to change as a result of the policy change. HHSC has annual sales of $6,500,000 and incurs variable costs of 65%. Sales and the level of variable costs are not expected to change with the alteration in credit policy. HHSC wants to earn a pretax return of 12% on its receivables investment. Given this data, answer the following questions. (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round all final answers to the nearest dollar.) A. What is the expected incremental change in HHSC’s average receivables balance? B. How much cost savings is generated by the reduction in the receivables investment? C. How much in cash discounts will be sacrificed by HHSC? D. What is the net change in HHSC’s pretax earnings? E. Should the company make the change to its credit policy?
