It requires additional facilities of $2m. Typically, the firm produces with 90 days of inventory (largely raw materials).
The firm offers its customers an average of 90 days credit (Average Collection Period) and gets 30 days credit from suppliers.
Purchases account for 50% of every dollar sold. Other expenses are 20% of sales.
