问题如下:
Which of the following scenarios is most likely to accelerate cash outflows, thereby acting as a pull on a company's liquidity?
选项:
A.
Accumulation of inventory that is no longer in demand
B.
Suppliers reducing the amount of credit available to the company
C.
Delays in collecting payments from customers
解释:
A is incorrect because accumulating inventory that is no longer in demand is a drag on liquidity, suggesting it affects cash inflows negatively by holding goods that cannot be sold promptly or must be sold at discounted prices.
B is correct. When suppliers reduce the credit available to a company, it forces the company to use its funds more quickly, often before it has received cash from sales, thus pulling on the company's liquidity by accelerating cash outflows.
C is incorrect as delays in collecting payments from customers are considered a drag on liquidity, impacting cash inflows by extending the time it takes to convert sales into cash.
b选项的视角是 supplier 还是 the company
对前者来说是 push
对后者来说是drag
