Firms generally have a good control over the level of accruals.

The firm has total current assets of $1,780,195,300 and current liabilities of $1,369,381,000.
What is the firm’s current ratio?
If the firm were to expand its investment in inventory and finance the expansion by increasing accounts payable, how much could it increase its inventory without reducing the current ratio below 1.2?
If the company needed to raise its current ratio to 1.5 by reducing its investment in current assets and simultaneously reducing accounts payable and short-term debt, how much would it have to reduce current assets to accomplish this goal?

The bank has offered either a line-of-credit agreement or a revolving credit agreement.

Under both loans, a compensating balance equal to 20% of the amount borrowed would be required. The prime rate is currently 7%.
