Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an integrated model of accounts receivable. The model incorporates the major components of credit and collection policies such as the cash discount, credit period and charges for late payments. It considers the investment in accounts receivable, losses from bad debts and the impact of credit terms on sales. The objective is to maximize the present value of net earnings from accounts receivable. After deriving the general model, a simplified version is solved by classical optimization techniques under various sets of assumptions that are gradually relaxed.
