Question

General Products writes checks that average $26,000 daily. These checks take an average of 6 days to clear. It receives payments that average $28,000 daily. It takes 3 days before these checks are available to the firm. What would be the annual savings if General Products could obtain access to the payments it receives within 2 days

Answer 1

Answer: $1,680

Step-by-step explanation:

It currently takes 3 days for checks to be available to the firm. If these payments could be available in 2 days then that would mean that they get access to $28,000 a day earlier than normal.

To calculate the annual savings, we shall assume an interest rate of 6% as one is not included.

Annual savings = Interest rate * Average payment

= 6% * 28,000

= $1,680
