Income increases by $2,604 ($78,386 – $75,782) due to increase
in net sales and decrease in interest expense.
Cash increased by almost $40,000 due to decrease in accounts
receivable. By the end of the quarter, no short-term payable is
outstanding.
While this strategy has a good result, Klandon has made no
prediction about the change in unit sales. Customers may not
respond favorably to the change, and if it is easy to switch to
another vendor, Klandon may lose sales. She needs to investigate
what her competitors are doing and have her sales reps visit with
customers before implementing this strategy.
