Mid-Size Corp is a fictitious company. Mid-Size Corp has an outstanding
accounts receivable portfolio of $4.750 million, annual credit sales
of
$40
million and thus a DSO of 43:
$4.750 million (A/R) / $40 million credit sales x 365 days
= 43 DSO
Therefore, each day DSO reduction frees up an additional $118,790
in cash the company can use to fund operations and grow the business
.By implementing 1st Pay's RightSourcing methodology, Mid-Size Corp was
able
to reduce DSO by 6 days to 37. The result is an increase in
cash of $712,740:
6 days reduction x $118,790 per
day = $712,740
Thus, by reducing DSO by 6 days, Mid-Size
Corp has access to $712,740
of cash and approximately $71,274 in reduced interest
expense (10% annual interest).
Mid-Size Corp discovers that transaction costs also
open up new ways to interact with customers, creating further positive
impact on gross margins. Until a company receives
payment, their cash is trapped on the balance sheet and not working to
meet the company's strategic
objectives.
