Therefore; when <strong>the</strong> company realize an investment <strong>of</strong> buying 33.000.000 DHS <strong>of</strong> goods from <strong>the</strong> company INWI or<br />

WANA as called, <strong>the</strong>y face two situation:<br />

33.000.000 DHS x 5.35% = 1 765 500 / 360 days = 4 909.167 DHS.<br />

Yet, <strong>the</strong> company could pay with <strong>the</strong> same amount paid in <strong>cash</strong>:<br />

33.000.000 DHS x 0.5% = 165 000 DHS<br />

We could realize from this calculation that with 4 909.167 DHS that <strong>the</strong> company pay using <strong>the</strong> overdraft, it could<br />

gain at <strong>the</strong> same day: 165 000 DHS if <strong>the</strong>y pay in <strong>cash</strong>. A financial revenue equals to:<br />

= 160 090.83 DHS (165 000 DHS – 4 909.167 DHS)<br />

By this way, <strong>the</strong> company gets to cover <strong>the</strong> financial costs paid when <strong>the</strong> company pays using <strong>the</strong> overdraft.<br />

As a financial decision, we could’ve take this decision by comparing <strong>the</strong> annual rates that <strong>the</strong> company gets from<br />

paying in <strong>cash</strong> to <strong>the</strong> supplier or from paying by overdraft.<br />

Balances total and <strong>the</strong> total <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> balances are calculated from <strong>the</strong> scales <strong>of</strong> quarterly interest that can provide on<br />

request, <strong>the</strong> banks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enterprise in question. This assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> minimum amount <strong>of</strong> paid unnecessarily,<br />

bank charges form <strong>the</strong> calls <strong>the</strong> following remarks:<br />

The first term assumes that any credit balance results from an excessive discount. However this is not always<br />

true: <strong>the</strong>re can be an "overfunding" permanent capital, or credit providers, compared to <strong>the</strong> capital fixed and<br />

capital needs circulating, as in <strong>the</strong> previous example.<br />

The second term assumes that any debtor balance comes from a funding challenge that leads to expect<br />

enough discount. The company <strong>of</strong>ten experiences periods where <strong>the</strong>ir discount opportunities are limited. In<br />

addition, it can be a sign <strong>of</strong> a financially too weak or inadequate. The reason behind this for <strong>the</strong> company is<br />

that, <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> funds are deposited in a certain bank account, while <strong>the</strong> company does not benefit from<br />

all financial advantages <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> company required <strong>of</strong>ten to increase <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> authorized overdraft seeing that most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Turnover is deposited inside this bank account.<br />

The calculation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> third term is made difficult by <strong>the</strong> assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second member. However, it can<br />

fix <strong>the</strong> minimum value: at a minimum, for a company using an overdraft constant throughout <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>the</strong><br />

commission <strong>of</strong> 1/20 is 0.60% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overdraft.<br />

Despite its limitations, this formula has no o<strong>the</strong>r ambition than to quickly assess whe<strong>the</strong>r a more detailed analysis <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enterprise in question is necessary.<br />

Added to this waste <strong>of</strong> bank charges is an opportunity cost.<br />

The reducing process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company’s costs is based on <strong>the</strong> daily following that <strong>the</strong> company apply based on <strong>the</strong><br />

daily report that <strong>the</strong>y receive from <strong>the</strong>ir banks, BMCI, AWB, or BMCE. Therefore, <strong>the</strong>re’s an example <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bank<br />

sheet related to <strong>the</strong> company’s movements received every morning and analyzed by <strong>the</strong> treasurer:<br />
