I have parts A-D but need help completing more of the problem. Thank you!

Part 7 Managing Global Operations MINI CASE Karen Johnson, CFO for Raucous Roasters (RR), a specialty coffee manufacturer, is rethinking her company's working capital policy in light of a recent scare she faced when R's corporate banker, citing a nationwide credit crunch, balked at renewing RR's line o credit. Had the line of credit not been renewed, RR would not have been able to make payroli, potentially forcing the company out of business. Although the line of credit was ultimately renewed, the scare has forced Johnson to examine carefully each component of RR's working capital to make sure it is needed, with the goal of determining whether the line of credit can be eliminated entirely. In addition to (possibly) freeing RR from the need for a line of credit, Johnson is wel aware that reducing working capital will improve free cash flonw Historically, RR has done little to examine working capital, mainly because of poor communication among business functions. In the past, the production manager resisted J ohnson's efforts to question his holdings of raw materials, the marketin manager resisted questions about finished goods, the sales staff resisted questions about credit policy (which affects accounts receivable). and the treasurer did not want to talk about the cash and securities balances. However, with the recent credit scare, this resistance has become unacceptable and Johnson has undertaken a company-wide examination of cash, marketable securities, inventory, and accounts receivable levels. Johnson also knows that decisions about working capital cannot be made in a vacuum. For example, if inventories could be lowered without adversely affecting operations, then less capital would be required, and free cash flow would increase However, lower raw materials inventories might lead to production slowdowns and higher costs, and lower finished goods inventories might lead to stockouts and loss of sales. So, before inventories are changed, it will be necessary to study operating as well as financial effects. The situation is the same with regard to cash and receivables. Johnson has begun her investigation by collecting the ratios shown here. (The partial cash budget shown after the ratios is used later in this mini case.)
