Currently, The Toy Box sells 465 units a month at an average price of $42 a unit. The company thinks it can increase sales by an additional 130 units a month if it switches to a net 30 credit policy. The monthly interest rate is 0.4 percent and the variable cost per unit is $21. What is the incremental cash inflow of the proposed credit policy switch?
Incremental cash flow = ($42 - $21) (130) = $2,730

Preston Milled Products currently sells a product with a variable cost per unit of $21 and a unit selling price of $40. At the present time, the firm only sells on a cash basis with monthly sales of 2,800 units. The monthly interest rate is 0.5 percent. What is the switch break-even point if the firm switched to a net 30 credit policy? Assume the selling price per unit and the variable costs per unit remain constant.
Break-even point = Q′ - 2,800 = ($40 × 2,800)/{[($40 - $21)/0.005] - $21} = 30 units
Q′ = 2,800 + 30 = 2,830 units |

Saucier & Co. currently sells 2,100 units a month for total monthly sales of $86,500. The company is considering replacing its current cash only credit policy with a net 30 policy. The variable cost per unit is $18 and the monthly interest rate is 1.2 percent. What is the switch break-even level of sales? Assume the selling price per unit and the variable costs per unit remain constant.
Break-even point = Q′ - 2,100 = ($86,500)/{[(($86,500/2,100) - $18)/0.012] - $18} = 45 units; Q′ = 2,100 + 45 = 2,145 units
