Document Summary

Created when sellers recognize revenue associated with a credit sale. Allowing people to buy on credit gives them the opportunity to buy more and buy quicker. The con for extending credit is the risk that customers won"t pay. Most companies provide credit to their customers r a 30-60 day period after the sale. Credit is classi ed as current assets because their normal collection period is part of the operating cycle of the business. 2% discount within 10 days, full amount/ due in 30 days. You give up the 2%, but you get the money. If you don"t give up the 2% and wait for the 30 day payment period, there is a risk that more than 2% will not be collected. 2% may not seem like a lot in a 30 day period, but if you annualize the number it adds up to a large percent.
