Interest on freed-up cash

Answer 1

Answer

Answer a

Freed Up Funds = (Saving in collection days * Collection per day) + (Saving in disbursement days * Disbursement per day)

(2.5 days * $3 million) + (0.5 days * $1.20 million) = $8.36 million i.e.$83,60,000

7.5 Million + $ 0.6 Million .

8.1 Million

Answer b

Freed up funds = $81,00,000

Interest rate per annum = 6%

Interest Income freed up Cash for the year = $81,00,000 * 6% = $4,86,000
