Answer:
Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount percentage / (100- Discount Percentage) ] * [ 365 Days / (Credit's Outstanding - Discount Period) ]
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/30 - 10
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/20
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.030928 * 18.25
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.564436
Nominal cost of trade credit = 56.44%
Effective cost of trade = (1 + Periodic rate)^n - 1
Periodic rate = 0.03 / 0.97 = 0.3093
Periods/year = 365 / (30-10) = 18.25
Effective cost of trade = (1 + 0.3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = (1 .3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 1.74354232297 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 0.74354232297
Effective cost of trade = 74.35%
Answer:
nominal cost of credit = 56.44% ;EAR = 74.35%
Explanation:
1.nominal cost of credit =
"(discount rate /1 - discount rate )" or part 1
multiply by "365/(days the credit is outstanding -discount days )" or part 2 .Thus ,nominal cost of credit= (0.03/1-0.03 )*(365 /30 -10)= part 1* part 2 = 0.030928*18.25=56.44%
2.EAR =[ (1 - "part 1 ") ^("part 2") ] - 1= [ (1+0.030928)^18.25 ] -1 =1.74348 -1 = 0.74348 or 74.348% or 74.35%
