Green Garden is a cash-only company. The company is considering switching to a 30-day credit policy with no discounts. What factors should the firm consider before making the switch?

What will be an ideal response?


The firm should consider the price it can charge for credit sales, any anticipated changes in sales quantity, and the delay of one-month in collections. There is also no guarantee that payment will ever be received. The firm must also consider their product costs which will still be incurred prior to sale. With the delay in collections and potential need for additional inventory the firm must consider its financing costs as its cash cycle will increase.
