Abstract: | This paper considers the problem of a vendor attempting to dispose of unanticipated inventory levels through an offer to a prospective buyer of a credit-period within which no payment is required. For each party, a decision rule is developed in the form of a feasibility range beyond which the offer is not acceptable. The interaction between the decision rules associated with each party is analysed. This includes a bargaining range of the different combinations of credit-period and extra-stock acceptable to both parties. A profit-sharing ratio is computed. |
