    Here is the basic info of the question: 2 vendors and their financing:

    vendor 1) 25k monthly purchases.. terms are 2/10 net 30

    vendor 2) 50k monthly purchases…. terms are 5/10 net 90

    Becker says the weighted average is 28

    wiley says the weighted average is 25.2

    note: this question is CMA adapted…

    anyone know what answer is correct? Thanks!

    Are you talking about the weighted average of days for collection of receivables?

    Edit: Or are you talking about opportunity cost?

    NIU CPA Review Correspondence is awesome!

    I passed all four sections on the first attempt

    @rafferty85 do you have the Wiley Question ID (if online Test Bank) or book (year/title/page) so we can check into this?

    Wiley author Ray Whittington checked and 25.2 was the answer that the CMA released which is what Wiley used. He also noted that he believes the correct answer is indeed 25.2%.
