At week 0, the cash balance of Golden Sock is P1.2M and outflows exceed inflows by P600,000 every week. At the end of the 2nd week, this cash balance will become zero and thus the company needs to convert its marketable securities to cash. when securities are converted, Golden Sock will incur P1000 and it has to forgo returns of 10% from securities converted.
