Exhibit Van Doren
Van Doren Housing expects to have sales this year of $15 million under its current credit policy. The present terms are net 30; the days dales outstanding (DSO) is 60 days; and the bad debt loss percentage is 5 percent. Also, Van Doren's cost of capital is 15 percent, and its variable costs total 60 percent of sales. Since Van Doren wants to improve its profitability, a proposal has been made to offer a 2 percent discount for payment within 10 days; that is, change the credit terms to 2/10, net 30. The consultants predict that sales would increase by $500,000, and that 50 percent of all customers would take the discount. The new DSO would be 30 days, and the bad debt loss percentage on all sales would fall to 4 percent.

A. $283,750
B. $250,500
