Question: Consider the Fun Toys example ( Dynamic Financial Model ) discussed in class with the following modification. Each month Fun Toys can delay payments on

Consider the Fun Toys example (Dynamic Financial Model) discussed in class with the following
modification. Each month Fun Toys can delay payments on some or all of the cash owed (i.e., cash out-flow)
for the current month. This is called payment stretching. Payments can be stretched for only one month, and
a 1% penalty is charged on the amount stretched. For example, if Fun Toys stretched $6,000 out of the
$12,000 it owes in January, it must pay $6,000 in January and $6,060(=6,000\times 1.01) in February; if it stretched
all the $4,000 it owes in May, it needs to pay nothing in May but must pay $4,040(=4,000\times 1.01) in June.
With this modification, determine how Fun Toys can maximize its final cash balance in January of the next
year. (Note: Payment stretching is possible only for months where cash flow is negative. Payments on loans
cannot be stretched.)
