Cash Discounts and Credit Decisions
• The seller must determineThe seller must determineThe amount of the cash discountThe length of the credit periodThe amount to spend on attempting to collect
overdue accountsThe customers to whom to offer credit termsThe magnitude of the line of credit
• Increasing the amount of the cash discount or lengthening the time period that the discount applies will result in increases in demand
![Page 24: Developing A Price Structure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683b550346895dde086c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reasons for Cash Discounts
1. To encourage prompt payment of invoices2. To reduce credit risks and the cost of
collecting overdue accounts3. To follow industry or historical practice
![Page 25: Developing A Price Structure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683b550346895dde086c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Problems of Cash Discounts1. It may be more economical for a firm to borrow
money on a short-term basis than to offer cash discounts
2. Large buyers may take the cash discount as a matter of routine, even though the payment is not made within the discount period
3. During period of inflation, many firms experience a slow-down in the payment of bills by customers

Geographical Pricing DecisionsGeographical Pricing Decisions
• F.O.B. origin pricingF.O.B. origin pricing means the seller quotes prices from the point of shipment
• FFree ree OOn n BBoardoard means it is the buyer’s responsibility to select the mode of transportation, choose the specific carrier, handle any damage claims, and pay all shipping charges
![Page 27: Developing A Price Structure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683b550346895dde086c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Geographical Pricing Decisions
• Delivered pricingDelivered pricing means the price quoted by the manufacturer includes both the list price and transportation costs
• Single-zone pricing- the seller receives a different net return when transportation costs for customers vary
• Multiple-zone pricing- delivered prices are uniform within two or more zones
![Page 28: Developing A Price Structure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683b550346895dde086c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Geographical Pricing Decisions• F.O.B. with freight allowed- the buyer arranges and
pays for the transportation but deducts these transportation costs from the invoice total and remits the net amount
• Basing-point pricing- the delivered price is the product’s list price plus transportation costs from a basing point to the buyer
