Bulldog Inc. recently made a $75,000 purchase from a vendor. The vendor will accept payment by check or ACH. In either case, the vendor offers net trade credit terms of 30 days. The assistant treasurer of Bulldog Inc. notes that payment by check will provide an additional 3 days of float (beyond the 30 days of trade credit), relative to payment by ACH (assume an additional one day of float beyond the trade credit period). In an effort to encourage Bulldog Inc. to pay via ACH, the vendor has offered a 0.50% discount for ACH payments. Assuming a discount rate of 5%, which disbursement approach should Bulldog Inc. use? Ignore the transactions cost associated with the check and ACH entry.

Retailers that accept credit cards pay a “swipe fee” to credit-card issuers such as Visa and Mastercard ranging from 1 to 3 percent of the purchase. The credit-card companies prohibited retailers from passing that fee on to consumers, but a recent lawsuit settlement proposal lifted that restriction. Under the settlement, retailers can charge 2.5 to 3 percent on each transaction. Discuss this issue and develop a report on the pros and cons of retailers adding a surcharge to credit purchases.
