• B) Sound working capital policy is designed to maximize the time between cash expenditures on materials and the collection of cash on sales.
• C) If a firm wants to generate more cash flow from operations in the next month or two, it could change its credit policy from 2/10 net 30 to net 60.
• D) If a firm sells on terms of net 90, and if its sales are highly seasonal, with 80% of its sales in September, then its DSO as it is typically calculated (with sales per day = Sales for past 12 months/365) would probably be lower in October than in August.
