Customers who do not take the discount and pay on Day 40:

Nominal cost: 3/97 * 365/30 = 37.63%

Effective cost: (1 + 3/97)365/30 – 1 = 44.86%

Sales may decline as a result of tightened credit. This would reduce receivables even more so. Some customers may also take discounts further reducing receivables.
