  1. Chapter 7Managing Payable and Accruals • Order Order Sale Payment Sent Cash • Placed Received Received • Accounts Collection • < Inventory > < Receivable > < Float > • Time ==> • Accounts Disbursement • < Payable > < Float > • Invoice Received Payment Sent Cash Disbursed

  2. Learning Objectives • Apply time value of money principles to the payment of accounts payable. • Decide when to take a cash discount for early payment and when to pay at the end of the credit period. • Better understand the ethical issues involved in payables behavior. • Develop appreciation for role information systems play in managing payables. • To develop effective monitoring tools.

  3. Spontaneous Sources of Financing • Definition • a financing source occurring spontaneously from operations • Examples • payables • accruals

  4. Accounts Payable • Open account • Cash discount • Prox • Seasonal dating • Consignment

  5. Payables Decisions and the Cash Flow Timeline Time ==> Purchase Cash Credit Date Discount Date Period

  6. Basic Principles • Never pay early, pay on the last day of: • the discount period, or • the credit period • Take a cash discount when: • implied interest rate > opportunity rate • Stretch only as a last resort, not as a policy

  7. Payment Decision Model • When days delayed < discount period • When days delayed > discount period • When days delayed > credit period

  8. When Days Delayed < Discount Period • NPV = IP x (1-d) / (1 + (DD(k/365)))

  9. When Days Delayed > Discount Period • NPV = IP / (1 + (DD(k/365)))

  10. When Days Delayed > Credit Period • IP x (1 +(DD-CP)x(f/365))NPV = ---------------------------------- (1 + (DD(k/365)))

  11. Take or Leave a Discount • IP x (1-d) < IP / (1 + (CP-DP)x(k/365)) • k < (d/(1-d)) x (365/(CP-DP))

  12. Top Tier: Make a commitment of the will to enhance the well-being of our neighbors Middle Tier: The “Sun Light” test: Would both interested & impartial observers find my decision to be prudent & sound. • Lower Tier: Does the decision obey the intent and letter • of the law? Ethics and the Payment Decision

  13. Monitoring the Payables Balance • Payables turnover approach • Period purchases / Accounts payable • Days purchases outstanding • Accounts payable / Average daily purchases • Balance fraction approach

  14. Accruals • Definition • an expense that has been incurred but has not yet been paid • Two basic types • accrued wages and salaries • accrued interest and taxes

  15. Summary • A cash discount should be taken when the investment/borrowing rate is less than the annualized discount rate. • Otherwise, pay at the end of the credit period. • Payment should not be stretched past the credit period. • The balance fraction monitoring method is preferred over the payables turnover method since turnover is influenced by purchasing trends.
