Calculate the expected loss for 2024 in the following business situation.
Somulate Inc. makes sales of its products and services and extends credit to its customers. Base terms are 2/15, n30(2% discount if paid within 15 days or the net is due within 30 days). The credit is unsecured and the potential exposure in 2024 is equal to the ending 2023 Accounts Receivable balance. In other words, the exposure rate is 100%.
Default probability is calculated by taking a rolling 4-year average of the write-off percentage (write-offs/ending Accounts Receivable). The recovery percentage used is 45%. Round percentages to 2 decimal places.
