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.
