New net credit position $
a.first let us know accounts receivable and accounts payable.
accounts receivable = average daily sales * number of days
=>$10,000*25 days
=>$250,000.
accounts payable = average daily credit purchases *average payment period
=>$9,000*20
=>$180,000.
net credit position =accounts receivable - accounts payable
net credit position = $250,000-180,000
=>$70,000.
b.new accounts payable position = $9,000*32 days
=>$288,000.
net credit position = $250,000 - 288,000
=>($38,000)
