BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of operations. The com- panys sales growth was explosive. To encourage clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financingmeaning its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next year.
