Q14

Answer is b.False

If the firm changes the credit terms from 2/10 net 30 to 3/10 net 30. The number of credit days remains at 30 days. Discount percent is increased to 3% from 2% to match the competitors.

There are 2 methods for accounting the discounts. One is Gross and another is net methods.

In Net method, receivables are recorded at sale price - discount even if customer makes use of the discount or does not. If customer does not make use of the discount, a interest revenue is recognized (difference between face value and discounted value)

In gross method, receivables are recorded at face value

In both the methods, receivables will remain constant and not change.

Q15

Answer is b. False

	Year 1 (in Million)	Year 2 (in Million)
Sales	5	5.5
Account receivables (90% credit)	4.5	4.95

This clearly shows account receivables will also grow with increase in sales.
