Hopewell sells a line of goods under a six-month warranty. Any defect arising during that period is repaired free of charge. Hopewell has calculated that if all the goods sold in the last six months of the year required repairs the cost would be $2 million. If all of these goods had more serious faults and had to be replaced the cost would be $6 million. The normal pattern is that 80% of goods sold will be fault-free, 15% will require repairs and 5% will have to be replaced. What is the amount of the provision required?

Calm Co. provides warranty for its products. Experience shows that 10% of products sold require warranty repairs and that 70% of the warranty costs are expended in the year of sale and 30% in the following year. Half of the defective products require minor repairs that cost 20% of the sale price, while the other half require major repairs that cost 70% of the sale price. A 3% risk adjustment factor is considered appropriate to reflect the uncertainties in the cash flow estimates. Sales of 4,000,000 were made evenly throughout 20x1. The outflow for repairs in 20x2 (for the products sold in 20x1) are expected to take place on June 30, 20x2. The appropriate discount factor is 0.95238. How much is the warranty provision at December 31, 20x1. 264,857 176,571 105,943 52,971

Blossom Company sells 320 units of its products for $20 each to Wildhorse inc. for cash. Blossom allows Wildhorse to return any unused product within 30 days and receive a full refund. The cost of each product is $11.

Stan Inc. currently asks its credit customers to pay by the end of the month after the month of delivery. In practice, customers take rather longer to pay - on average 70 days. Sales revenue amounts to P 8 million a year and bad debts to P 20,000 a year. The company planned to offer customers a cash discount of 2% for payment within 30 days. Stan estimates that 50% of customers will accept this facility but that the remaining customers, who tend to be slow payers, will not pay until 80 days after the sale. At present the business has an overdraft facility at an interest rate of 12% a year. If the plan goes ahead, bad debts will be reduced to P 10,000 a year and there will be savings in credit administration expenses of P 6,000 a year. (Use 360 days) How much is the net cost/benefit of the proposed policy? A.P 24,000B.(P 24,000)C.(P11,370)D.P2,630

Regency Rug Repair Company is trying to decide whether it should relax its credit standards. The firm repairs 72,000 rugs per year at an average price of $32 each. Bad-debt expenses are 1% of sales, the average collection period is 40 days, and the variable cost per unit is $28. Regency expects that if it does relax its credit standards, the average collection period will increase to 48 days and that bad debts will increase to 1.5% of sales. Sales will increase by 4,000 repairs per year. If the firm has a required rate of return on equal-risk investments of 14%, what recommendation would you give the firm? Use your analysis to justify your answer. (Note: Use a 365-day year.)
