However, selling on credit exposes the firms to the additional dimension of bad debts expense (i.e., customer\u2019s default). Moreover, credit period through its influence on demand becomes a determinant of inventory decisions and inventory sold on credit gets converted to accounts receivable indicating the interaction between the two. Since inventory and credit decisions are interrelated, inventory decisions must be determined jointly with credit decisions. Consequently, in this paper, a mathematical model is developed to determine inventory and credit decisions jointly. The demand rate is assumed to be a logistic function of credit period. The accounts receivable carrying cost along with an explicit consideration of bad debt expense which have been often ignored in previous models are incorporated in the present model. The discounted cash flow approach (DCF) is used to develop the model and the objective is to maximize the present value of the firm\u2019s net profit per unit time. Finally, numerical example and sensitivity analysis have been done to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/678561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,8]],"date-time":"2014-12-08T21:03:18Z","timestamp":1418072598000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Inventory and Credit Decisions under Day-Terms Credit Linked Demand and Allowance for Bad Debts"],"prefix":"10.47654","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"K.
