I'm really unsure about this one. I thought the savings would be higher, but I can't remember how to factor in the total accounts receivable.

I believe the savings would be calculated as the reduction amount times the marginal cost of capital. I think I might have seen an answer close to $86,800 in a previous example.

This seems similar to a practice question we did on cash flow savings. I feel like the formula involves multiplying the reduction by the marginal cost of capital, but I can't recall the exact steps.

I think I remember something about calculating savings based on the reduction in accounts receivable, but I'm not entirely sure how to apply the marginal cost of capital here.
