Fairweather Corporation purchases merchandise on terms of 2/15, net 40, and its gross purchases (i. e., purchases before taking off the discount) are $800,000 per year. What is the maximum dollar amount of costly trade credit the firm could get, assuming it abides by the supplier's credit terms

The answer is $53,699

Explanation:

Discount = 2%

Discount days = 15 days

Net days = 40 days

Gross purchase is $800,000 per year

Discount on the purchase is $16,000(2% of $800,000)

Therefore net purchase is $784,000($800,000 - $16,000).

Net per day is:

Net purchase ÷ 365 days

$784,000 ÷ 365 days

= $2,147.95

Total trade credit = Net per day x Net days

$2,147.95 x 40 days = $85,918

Free credit = Net per day ×Discount days

=$2,147.95 x 15= $32,219

Therefore, Costly trade credit = Total credit −Free credit

$85,918 - $32,219

= $53,699

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
