20. A firm sells 40,000 units of its product per annum @ Rs.35 per unit. The average cost per
unit is Rs.31 and the variable cost per unit is Rs.28. The average collection period is 60
days. Bad debts losses are 3% of sales and the collection charges amount to Rs.15,000.
A firm is considering a proposal to follow a stricter collection policy which would reduce
bad debts losses to 1% of sales and the average collection period to 45 days. It would,
however, reduce sales volume by 1,000 units and increase the collection charges to
Rs.25,000.
The firm’s required rate of return is 20%. Would you recommend the adoption of the new
credit policy? Assume 360 days in a year for the purpose of your calculation.
