Inflation effect compounds problem for billpayers
Inflation leaves payers stretched as they delay or reduce payments, effectively financing sellers. A 90 day receivable at 6 percent inflation is worth 98.5 cents, while at 3 percent it is 99.25 cents. Credit managers are warned not to be lenient despite better prospects, as extended receivables still cut profitability. Consumers emerge as strong stock forecasters, and Sindlinger & Co. notes 88 percent accuracy over 15 years, shaping attitudes and market outlooks.
