Ans:C.
The company can choose when to enter into the short-term borrowing with the bank and reclassify its accounts payable into short-term financing. It will likely do so when cash flows are seasonally strong, thereby reducing operating cash flows but increasing financing cash flows. On repayment, the cash outflow is treated as a financing activity (loan repayment) not an operating cash flow. The result is that the company can manipulate the timing of reported cash flows since the timing and extent of vendor financing is at management’s discretion.
