Sales will be €12 m per month. A month’s inventory of finished products will have to be built up. Customers pay at 90 days.

The supplier grants the company a 90-day payment period. Other costs are: ◦ ◦ personnel costs of €4m per month; shipping, packaging and other costs amounting to €2m per month and paid at 30 days.
