Chapter 19, Problem 12QP
Calculating Transactions Required [LO2] Cow Chips, Inc., a large fertilizer distributor based in California, is planning to use a lockbox system to speed up collections from its customers located on the East Coast. A Philadelphia-area bank will provide this service for an annual fee of $7,500 plus 10 cents per transaction. The estimated reduction in collection and processing time is one day. If the average customer payment in this region is $4,100, how many customers each day, on average, are needed to make the system profitable for Cow Chips? Treasury bills are currently yielding 4 percent per year, and there are 365 days per year.

government securities for the next 2 years. Currently, you can invest either in a secu-
rity that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years or in a security that matures
in 1 year but pays only 6% interest. If you make the latter choice, you would then
reinvest your savings at the end of the first year for another year.
Why might you choose to make the investment in the 1-year security that pays
an interest rate of only 6%, as opposed to investing in the 2-year security pay-
ing 8%? Provide numerical support for your answer. Which theory of term
