b)Assume the new trade term of 2/10,net 30 will increase by 15% because the discount makes Dome's price competitive.If Dome earns 20 % on sales before discounts ,should it offer the discount ?

What i did is:
annual average sales $144000
/360
.-------------------
400
net 30days x 30
-------------------
Aver.A/R Bal. $12000

Average daily credit sales $400
net 10 days sale x 10
----------------
$4000

Acc/R Balance by $ 12000-$4000 = $ 8000

Furthermore, the cash management department of her bank has indicated to her that she can differ her payment on her accounts by one-half day without offending suppliers.
