A bank is analysing the receivables of Rolly Ltd. in order to identify acceptable collateral for a short term loan. The company's credit policy is 2/10 net 30. The bank lends 75% of accounts where customers are not currently overdue and where the average payment period does not exceed 10 days past the net period. A schedule of Rolly Ltd. receivables has been prepared. How much will the bank lend on a pledge of receivables, if the bank uses a 10% allowance for cash discount and returns?
