Credit Policy decision with changing variables
Not what you're looking for?
Curtis Toy Manufacturing Company is evaluating the extension of credit to a new group of
customers. Although these customers will provide $240,000 in additional credit sales,
12 percent are likely to be uncollectible. The company will also incur $21,000 in additional
collection expense. Production and marketing costs represent 72 percent of sales. The
company is in a 30 percent tax bracket and has a receivables turnover of six times. No other
asset buildup will be required to service the new customers. The firm has a 10 percent
desired return on investment.

b. Should credit be extended if 14 percent of the new sales prove uncollectible?

the accounts are uncollectible (as was the case in part a).
