Sagot :

if Mavericks decides to forego discounts, then, 15.89% would be the effective percentage of cost of its trade credit.

Effective cost of not taking discount = (1 + (%Discount / (1-Discount%)^ (365/(Total days - Discount days)) -1

Effective cost of not taking discount = (1 + (2% / (100%-2%))^(365/(60-10)) -1

Effective cost of not taking discount = (1.02040816327^7.3) - 1

Effective cost of not taking discount = 1.15890983226 - 1

Effective cost of not taking discount = 0.15890983226
