Chapter 8, Problem 21P
Mr. Hugh Warner is a very cautious businessman. His supplier offers trade credit terms of 3/15, net 85. Mr. Warner never takes the discount offered, but he pays his suppliers in 75 days rather than the 85 days allowed so he is sure the payments are never late.

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of offering credit?
2. What precautions should she take before offering credit to people like John?
3. If Kate grants credit to John, the terms will be 2/10, n/30. Assuming the payment is made during the 10-day discount period, what would be the journal entry to record the sale and then subsequent payment? 4. If instead of playing early John pays in 25 days, what would the journal entry to record the payment? 5. Rather than providing the financing directly, assume that Kate decides to allow the use of credit cards. Further, assume that during the month there is 15,000 worth of credit cards sales. Provide the journal entry to record the sales, along with the associated credit card fee. The cost of goods sold total is 13,500.
Your FICO score makes a big difference in how lenders determine what interest rate to charge you. Consider the situation faced by Edward and Jorge. Edward has a fairly poor FICO score of
660 and, as a result, pays 18.0% APR on the unpaid balance of his credit card. Jorge has a FICO score of 740 and pays only 7.3% APR on the unpaid balance of his credit card. If both persons
carry an average balance of $3,000 on their credit cards for three years, how much more money will Edward repay compared with what Jorge owes (moral: you want a high FICO score)? Assume
monthly compounding of interest.
Edward will repay $ more. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Alek has been a credit card user for several years. He always pays his monthly balance in full on time. He can therefore expect the credit card company to:
a. offer him a higher credit line
b. offer him a lower credit line
c. remove his annual fees
d. increase his annual fees
e. waive charges for ATM withdrawals

In many states, these lenders operate under pawnbroker laws that allow them to charge a fee that is a percentage of the unpaid balance. Suppose you need $2000 in cash, and a car-title lender offers you a loan at an interest rate of 2% per month plus a monthly fee of 20% of the unpaid balance. How much will you owe in interest and fees on your $2000 loan at the end of the first month? Suppose that you pay only the interest and fees each month. How much will you pay over the course of a full year? Suppose that you instead obtain a loan of $2000 from a bank with a term of 3 years and an APR of 10%. What are your monthly payments in that case? Compare these to the payments to the car-title lender.arrow_forward
