Chapter 22, Problem 6P
Tightening Credit Terms
Kim Mitchell, the new credit manager of the Vinson Corporation, was alarmed to find that Vinson sells on credit terms of net 90 days while industry-wide credit terms have recently been lowered to net 30 days. On annual credit sales of $2.5 million, Vinson currently averages 95 days of sales in accounts receivable. Mitchell estimates that tightening the credit terms to 30 days would reduce annual sales to $2,375,000, but accounts receivable would drop to 35 days of sales and the savings on investment in them should more than overcome any loss in profit.
Vinson’s variable cost ratio is 85%, and taxes are 40%. If the interest rate on funds invested in receivables is 18%, should the change in credit terms be made?

PROBLEM 2
On July 1, 2022, LTU Contracting, Inc. purchased a new Peiner SK575 Tower Crane for
a total cost of $875,000. The crane has an estimated useful life of five (5) years. For
financial reporting (book) purposes, the company utilizes straight line depreciation. For
tax purposes, the equipment is depreciated over five years utilizing the 200% declining
balance method.

useful life and determine the difference in book value between each method at
the end of each year.
B. On July 1st, 2025, the company is considering selling the crane for $500,000.
