| Receivables Management | ||||||||||
| This case focuses on the usefulness of the average collection period (ACP), the aging | ||||||||||
| schedule, and the uncollected balances schedule in monitoring a business's receivables. | ||||||||||
| The model uses sales forecasts and collections expectations to calculate ACP and to | ||||||||||
| generate both aging schedules and uncollected balances schedules. In addition, the | ||||||||||
| model calculates the cost of carrying receivables. | ||||||||||
| The model consists of a complete base case analysis--no changes need to be made | ||||||||||
| to the existing MODEL-GENERATED DATA section. However, all values in the student | ||||||||||
| version INPUT DATA section have been replaced with zeros. Thus, students must | ||||||||||
| determine the appropriate input values and enter them into the model. These cells are | ||||||||||
| colored red. When this is done, any error cells will be corrected and the base case | ||||||||||
| solution will appear. Note that the model does not contain any risk analyses, so students | ||||||||||
| will have to create their own if required by the case. Furthermore, students must | ||||||||||
| create their own graphics (charts) as needed to present their results. | ||||||||||
