Example: Co. XYZ now has 30 days payment terms; average payment by all customers is now 40 days.
XYZ considers 2/10 net 30 terms; the (assumed) result is that 20% is paid in 10 days, 80% in 45 days.

FINANCIAL RATIOS
Credit policy

FWvdB/2014

Example: Co. XYZ now has 30 days payment terms; average payment by all customers is now 40 days (A).
XYZ considers 2/10 net 30 terms; the (assumed) result is that 20% is paid in 10 days, 80% in 45 days (B). Say sales = 50 mln. à paid in 10 days: 20% x 50 – 2% = 9,8
NPVA = 50 / (1,05) 40 / 365 = 49.727.520 ß higher value
NPVB = 9,8 / (1,05) 10 / 365 + 40 / (1,05) 45 / 365 =
9.786.593 + 39.754.935 = 49.541.528
