8-8. Sampson Orange Juice Company normally takes 20 days to pay for its average daily credit purchases of $6,000. Its average daily sales are $7,000, and it collects accounts in 28 days.
a. What is its net credit position? That is, compute its accounts receivable and accounts payable and subtract the latter from the former.
Accounts receivable = Average daily credit sales x Average collection periodAccounts payable = Average daily credit purchases x Average payment period
b. If the firm extends its average payment period from 20 days to 35 days (and all else remains the same), what is the firm's new net credit position? Has it improved its cash flow?
Solution:Sampson Orange Juice Company
a. Net credit position = accounts receivable – accounts payable
Accts rec. = Average Daily Credit Purchases x Average PaymentPeriod = $7,000 x 28 = $196,000
Accounts payable = Average Daily Credit Purchases x AveragePayment Period = $6,000 x 20
= $120,000
Net Credit Position = $196,000 – $120,000 = $76,000
b. Accounts Receivable will remain at $196,000Accounts Payable = $6,000 x 35 = 210,000Net Credit Position ($14,000)
The firm has improved its cash flow position. Instead of extending$76,000 more in credit (funds) than it is receiving, it has reversed the position and is the net recipient of $14,000 in credit.

8-18. Mr. Paul Promptly is a very cautious businessman. His supplier offers trade credit terms of 3/10, net 70.

8-19. The Ogden Timber Company buys from its suppliers on terms of 2/10, net 35.Ogden has not been utilizing the discount offered and has been taking 50 days to pay its bills. The suppliers seem to accept this payment pattern, and Ogden’s credit rating has not been hurt.
Mr. Wood, Ogden Timber Company’s vice president, has suggested that the company begin to take the discount offered. Mr. Wood proposes the company borrow from its bank at a stated rate of 15 percent. The bank requires a 25 percent compensating balance on these loans. Current account balances would not be available to meet any of this compensating balance requirement. Do you agree with Mr. Wood’s proposal?

We use 50 days instead of 35 days as the final due date because Ogden’s suppliers have effectively made this the due date even though the stated due date is 35 days.
Effective rate of interest with a 25% compensating balance requirement:
= Interest rate/(1 – C)= 15%/(1 – .25)= 15%/(.75) = 20%
The effective cost of the loan, 20%, is more than the cost of passing up

8-20. In problem 19, if the compensating balance requirement were 10 percent instead of 25 percent, would you change your answer? Do the appropriate calculation.
Solution:The Ogden Time Company (Continued)
Effective rate of interest with a 10% compensating balance requirement:
16.67%
The answer now changes. The effective cost of the loan, 16.67%, is less than the cost of passing up the discount. Ogden Timber Company should borrow the funds and take the discount.
8-21. Bosworth Petroleum needs $500,000 to take a cash discount of 2/10, net 70. Abanker will loan the money for 60 days at an interest cost of $8,100.
a. What is the effective rate on the bank loan?b. How much would it cost (in percentage terms) if Bosworth did not take the
cash discount, but paid the bill in 70 days instead of 10 days?c. Should Bosworth borrow the money to take the discount?d. If the banker requires a 20 percent compensating balance, how much must
Bosworth borrow to end up with the $500,000?e. What would be the effective interest rate in part d if the interest charge for
60 days were $13,000? Should Bosworth borrow with the 20 percent compensating balance? (There are no funds to count against the compensating balance requirement.)

8-22. Columbus Shipping Company is negotiating with two banks for a $100,000 loan. Bankcorp of Ohio requires a 20 percent compensating balance, discounts the loan, and wants to be paid back in four quarterly payments. Cleveland Bank requires a 10 percent compensating balance, does not discount the loan, but wants to be paid back in 12 monthly installments. The stated rate for bothbanks is 10 percent. Compensating balances and any discounts will be subtracted from the $100,000 in determining the available funds in part a.
a. Which loan should Columbus accept?b. Recompute the effective cost of interest, assuming Columbus ordinarily
maintains $20,000 at each bank in deposits that will serve as compensating balances.
c. How much did the compensating balances inflate the percentage interest costs? Does your choice of banks change if the assumption in part b is correct?

Choose Cleveland Bank since it has the lowest effective cost.
b. The numerators stay the same as in part (a) but the denominator increases to reflect the use of more money because balances are already maintained at both banks.
Bankcorp of Ohio
Effective rate = $80,000/($100,000 – $10,000) x 5 = 17.78%
Cleveland Bank
Effective rate = $240,000/($100,000 x 13) = 18.46%
c. The compensating balance assumption changed interest rates as follows:
Bankcorp ClevelandInterest Cost with Comp/Bal. 22.86% 20.51%
Without Comp/Bal. 17.78% 18.46%Difference in cost 5.08% 2.05%
If compensating balances are maintained at both banks in the normal course of business, then Bankcorp of Ohio’s loan becomes cheaper than Cleveland Bank’s loan.

8-24. The treasurer for Thornton Pipe and Steel Company wishes to use financial futures to hedge her interest rate exposure. She will sell five Treasury futures contracts at $105,000 per contract. It is July and the contracts must be closed out in December of this year. Long-term interest rates are currently 7.4 percent. If they increase to 8.5 percent, assume the value of the contracts will go down by 10 percent. Also if interest rates do increase by 1.1 percent, assume the firm will have additional interest expense on its business loans and other commitments of $60,800. This expense, of course, will be separate from the futures contracts.
a. What will be the profit or loss on the futures contract if interest rates go to8.5 percent?
b. Explain why a profit or loss took place on the futures contracts.c. After considering the hedging in part a, what is the net cost to the firm of
the increased interest expense of $60,800? What percent of this increased cost did the treasurer effectively hedge away?
d. Indicate whether there would be a profit or loss on the futures contracts if interest rates went down.
Solution:Thornton Pipe and Steel Company
a. Sales price, December Treasury bond contract(Sale takes place in July) 5 x $105,000 = $525,000Purchase price, December Treasury bond contract(10% price decline)
.9 x $105,000 = $ 94,500 New Price of T-Bond5 x $94,000 = $472,500 Value of 5 T-Bond Contracts
Sold 5 T-Bond Contracts in July at $525,000Purchased 5 T-Bond Contracts in December at $472,500Profit on futures contracts $ 52,500
b. A profit took place because the value of the bond went down due to increasing rates. This meant the subsequent price was less than the initial sales price.

The net cost is 13.65%. This means 86.35% of the increased interest cost was hedged away.
d. If interest rates went down, there would be a loss on the futures contracts. The lower interest rates would lead to higher bond prices and a purchase price that exceeded the original sales price.
