CyberAge outlet, a relatively new store, is a cafe that offers customers the opportunity to browse the Internet or play computer games at their tables while they drink coffee. The customer pays a fee based on the amount of time spent signed on to the computer. The store also sells books, tee shirts, and computer accessories. CyberAge has been paying all of its bills on the last day of the payment period, thus forfeiting all supplier discounts. Shown below are data on CyberAge's two major vendors, including average monthly purchases and credit terms.

Should CyberAge use trade credit and continue paying at the end of the credit period?

That makes sense. It's important for businesses to consider the cost of financing options before making a decision.

Option D makes the most sense to me. If the alternative short-term financing is more expensive, then trade credit is the way to go. Simple as that.

Definitely, if it's more expensive to use alternative short-term financing, then sticking with trade credit is the better option. Option D all the way.

I agree, option D seems like the best choice. If it's cheaper to use trade credit, why not take advantage of that?

Because if the cost of alternative short-term financing is more, it would be beneficial for CyberAge to take advantage of the trade credit terms.

Trade credit? Nah, I say we just barter with the vendors. Coffee for computer accessories, you know? That'll save us some cash.
