does anyone remember how to calculate the annual percentage cost of discount in the simulation. It was task 7 - invoice £700 but 5% discount will be offered if the invoice is paid in 14 days...

I've been learning this today -
You'll also need how many days for the normal settlement period -
the formula is:
(d/(100-d)) x (365/(N-D)) x 100
where d = settlement discount percentage (5%)
N = Normal Settlement Period in days (?)
D = Settlement period for early repayment in days (14 days)0 -

- CathG has correctly given the simple interest formula :
(d/(100-d)) x (365/(N-D)) x 100
- I have told my class that if they use this formula they should add this sentence:
-
This value is the simple interest percentage rate rather than a true compounded annual percentage so is under valuing the true cost to the business.
- The annual percentage cost of discount involves a geometric calculation so it has to be done using a calculator that has a "to the power of" button.
-
1+(d/(100-d))^ (365/(N-D))-1
