Paper Submarine Manufacturing is investigating a lockbox system to reduce its collection time. It has determined the following:

Explanation / Answer

PV = reduced days * number of payments * average payment value

   = 4 * 410 * 1000

   = 1640000

NPV = PV - (locker fee * number of payments) / rate

= PV - (0.4 * 410) / 0.068% = 1640000 - 241176.5

= 1398824

Net cashflow = PV * rate - locker fee * number of payments

= 1640000*0.068% - 0.4 * 410

   = 951.2 $ per day

Net cashflow = Per day / number of payments

   = 951.2 / 410

   = 2.32 $ per check
