Question 17-9
Hardin-Gehr Corporation (HGC) began operations 5
years ago as a small firm serving customers in the Detroit area. However, its reputation and market area grew quickly. Today HGC has customers all over the United States. Despite its broad customer base, HGC has maintained its headquarters in Detroit; and it keeps its central billing system there. On average, it takes 5 days from the time customers mail in payments until HGC can receive, process, and deposit them. HGC would like to set up a lockbox collection system, which it estimates would reduce the time lag from customer mailing to deposit by 3 day-bringing it down to 2 days. HGC receives an average of $1,400,000 in payments per day.
a. How much free cash would HGC generate if
it implemented the lockbox system? Would
this be one-time cash flow or a recurring one, assuming the company ceases to grow? How would growth affect your answer? b. If HGC has an opportunity cost of 10%, how much is the lockbox system worth on an annual basis? c. What is the maximum monthly charge HGC should pay for the lockbox system?
a. Hardin-Gehr Corperation has 5 days of
collection float, under the lockboxs system,
this would drop to 2 days. $1,400,000 x 5 days = $7,000,000 $1,400,000 x 2 days = $2,800,000 $4,200,000 HGC can reduce its cahs balance by the $4,200,000 reduction in negative float.
1,400,000 : 5 x 2 = 560.000 (reduce funds)
1,400,000 560,000 = 940,000 (cash infusion) Would this be a one-time cash flow or a
recurring one? = Recurring one, karena Firma tersebut akan mendapatkan keuntungan yang berkelanjutan How would growth affect your answer?
= Jadi bila ada pertumbuhan (di cabang lain)
maka reduce time dan cost transit tersebut akan berubah tergantung lokasi dan jumlah, namun cash flownya tetap berkelanjutan
b. The value of the lockbox system in an annual
basis : 0,10($4,200,000) = $420,000 c. Maximum monthly charge HGC can pay for the lockbox system : $420,000 : 12 = $35,000
