What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit under the credit terms of 3/10, net 30? Assume a 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount percentage / (100- Discount Percentage) ] * [ 365 Days / (Credit's Outstanding - Discount Period) ]

Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/30 - 10

Nominal cost of trade credit =  3/97 * 365/20

Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.030928 * 18.25

Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.564436

Nominal cost of trade credit = 56.44%

Effective cost of trade =  (1 + Periodic rate)^n - 1

Periodic rate = 0.03 / 0.97 = 0.3093

Periods/year = 365 / (30-10) = 18.25

Effective cost of trade = (1 + 0.3093)^18.25 - 1

Effective cost of trade = (1 .3093)^18.25 - 1

Effective cost of trade = 1.74354232297 - 1

Effective cost of trade = 0.74354232297

Effective cost of trade = 74.35%

answer; /// i believe its (bas design);

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."

hope this : )
