( amt in lac)

Sales in Rs.                                            87.5                  105                 118

         opportunity cost(wn 3)                (2.62)                     (4.2)              (6)  

= Net Profit                                             21                           22.05        21.52

 

The management should opt for Option 1 as the profit 22.05 lac is maximum in option 1.


Working Notes:

1. Credit period .

Avg. collection period of debtors=12/debtors turnover ratio.

 

therefore , for existing=12/7 =    1.71 months

                    option 1    =12/5.25=2.28 months

                    option 2    =12/4.2=  2.85 months

 

2. contribution= credit sales*pv ratio

   existing           option 1            option 2

   26.25               31.5                   35.4          (amt in lakhs)

 

3. Statement showing computation of opportunity cost:

 

Particular                               existiing          option 1          option 2

Credit period                         1.71 m             2.28 m            2.85 m

(amt in lac)

Variable cost                         61.25                73.5                82.6 

add:fixed cost                         -                             -                      -

Total cost                                61.25                73.5               82.6

 

debtors at cost                       8.73                   14                    19.7

=(total cost*credit period)/12

opportunity cost @ 30%        2.62                    4.2                     6

=debtors at cost*30%
