Your firm has a large payment that needs to be made by next week. The company doesn$$t have the cash available at this time. You already have large outstanding loans, so you don$$t want to go to the bank. Your stockholders don$$t want you to sell more stock because it would dilute their control. You can$$t sell bonds by next week. Your inventory is small but your accounts receivable are large. Your firm sells everything on a $30-$day open account, and most of your customers pay on time.$$
