Laura McAntee was just hired as the assistant treasurer of Dorchester Stores. Thecompany is a specialty chain store with nine retail stores concentrated in one metropolitan area.Among other things, the payment of all invoices is centralized in one of the departments Laurawill manage. Her primary responsibility is to maintain the companys high credit rating by payingall bills when due and to take advantage of all cash discounts.Danny Feeney, the former assistant treasurer who has been promoted to treasurer, is trainingLaura in her new duties. He instructs Laura that she is to continue the practice of preparingall checks net of discount and dating the checks the last day of the discount period. But,Danny continues, we always hold the checks at least 4 days beyond the discount period beforemailing them. That way we get another 4 days of interest on our money. Most of our creditorsneed our business and dont complain. And, if they scream about our missing the discount period,we blame it on the mail room or the post office.Weve only lost one discount out of everyhundred we take that way. I think everybody does it. By the way, welcome to our team!
