Among the cash management techniques used by most businesses are those that slow down their bill payments. A good example for this is the concept of cash rebates. Cash rebates are most commonly offered on household items like computers and other electronics.

Select a business with which you are familiar, and explain whether you would recommend this business to use cash rebates.

Discussion Board Assignment Guidelines:

• Research “cash rebates” and other similar cash management techniques.
• Answer the following questions:
  • Are these practices sound business decisions? Are they ethical? Explain.
  • What percentage of the rebates offered are actually paid?
• Select a business of which you are familiar, and answer the following question:
  • Would you recommend that this business use cash rebates?

   

  When answering this question realize that when we look at rebates they can be in the form of a large car rebate or as small as a 50 cent mail in rebate.  The logic behind each of these from a firms’ perspective is very different so be clear in your post which you are referencing.
