Dome Metals has credit sales of $288,000 yearly with credit terms of net 120 days, which is also the average collection period. Assume the firm adopts new credit terms of 3/18, net 120 and all customers pay on the last day of the discount period.

If Dome earns 20 percent on sales before discounts, what will be the net change in income if the new credit terms are adopted? (Use a 360-day year.) b. Should the firm offer the discount?
