Neurobion Company produces paints and related products for sale to the construction industry
throughout Metro Manila. While sales have remained relatively stable despite a decline in the
amount of new construction, there has been a noticeable change in the timeliness with which the
company's customers are paying their bills.

The company sells its products on payment terms of 2/10, n/30. In the past, over 75 percent of
the credit customers have taken advantage of the discount by paying within 10 days of the
invoice date. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the number of customers taking the full
30 days to pay has increased. Current indications are that less than 60% -of the customers are
now taking the discount. Uncollectible accounts as a percentage of total credit sales have risen
from the 1.5% provided in the past years to 4% in the current year.
In response to your request for more information on the deterioration of accounts receivable
collections, the company's controller has prepared the following report:
