From it we see that ABCO receives $32,000 from accounts receivable and pays out $9500 at the start fo the first week.

As a matter of policy, ABCO maintains inventories of $2000 in parts of some obsolete models. The current balance of marketable securities is earmarked for tax payments, which are due later in the year. ABCO maintains a minimum cash balance of $500 and has an open line of credit of $7500 from a local bank. This line of credit is presently fully used, but repayment and interest payments on its loan are scheduled for later in the year. In order to preserve a favorable picture of the firm's financial situation, the manager has agreed with the local bank that ABCO's "quick ratio" should not drop below 2.0.
