b. Prepare an estimate of the required financing (or excess funds)—that is, the amount of money
Marvel’s Renovations will need to borrow (or will have available to invest)—for each month during that period.
e. If its customers began to pay late, this would slow down collections and thus increase the required loan amount. Also, if sales dropped off, this would have an effect on the required loan. Do a sensitivity analysis that shows the effects of these two factors on the max loan requirement. Assume the purchases of labor and raw material also vary by the sales adjustment factor.
Answer:

1461: Put the max loan for the base case hear.

Note: When the percent collected during the second month after sale is changed, the percent for collections during month after sale is automatically changed so that 100% of sales are collected during the three-month period.
