You can afford to make only the minimum monthly payment, which is 5% of the balance. Then your balance after t months is given by B = 15,000(1.02 ✕ 0.95)t dollars. How many payments will you have to make to get the balance below $200? (Enter the smallest such number of payments as an integer.)

You have just purchased new goods worth 10,000 EUR from your supplier. Your supplier offers you to pay within 35 days. If you pay within the first 5 days, you get a discount of 1%. You know that he might accept a further delay, because he has a quite bad receivables management, but if he notices, which you estimate has a probability of roughly 50%, you might get an additional fee of 1000 EUR. You need your next delivery in 60 days and you know he will not deliver the new goods unless you pay the outstanding invoice. When would you pay? Why? What is the effective interest rate?
Han Corp's sales last year were $300,000, and its year-end receivables were $49,000. The firm sells on terms that call for customers to pay 30 days after the purchase, but some delay payment beyond Day 30. On average, how many days late do customers pay? Base your answer on this equation: DSO - Allowed credit period = Average days late, and use a 365-day year when calculating the DSO. Assume all sales to be on credit. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
