    Yes Sir ,the question quoted the collection period reduced TO 60 days.

    The Answer given:
    Factoring
    Adm Fee 153000
    Redundancy 6000
    cost of financing
    i)12% x (60/365x 10.2) X 70% =140844
    ii)9%. × 30% x (185/365 X 10.2) = 139586

    Total cost=439430

    No Factoring
    Credit controller = 28000
    Cost of financing TR = 9% × (185/365 × 10.2)
    =465288
    Total cost= 493288

    ~Therefore,the company should Factor their debt as it saves $53858

    Interest in lower receivables

    Current receivables
    (185/365 × 10200000) : 5169863

    New receivables
    (60/365 × 10200000) : 1676712

    Reduction : 3493151

    Interest(9%) : 314384

    ??Admin saved(14000×2) = 28000

    Savings : 28000+ 314384 = 342384

    This is what I calculated.

    •Interest advance
    Extra cost
    (12-9) = 3% × 1676712 × 70%
    = 35211

    Admin fee
    (1.5% × (8.5m × 120%)) = 153000

    Redundancy
    (3000 × 2) = 6000

    Cost : 35211 + 153000 + 6000
    = 194211

    Net benefit = 342384 – 194211
    = 148173

    I cannot compare my working with given answer because what im doing is calculating cost against savings,while the answer given gives me the calculations of the cost in doing Factoring or Didnt do Factoring

    I am sorry for the inconveniences.

    Is there any mistake at my calculations Sir.?
