Cash flow timing for accounts receivable. Zenotech Incorporated sells business software to a variety of companies. The payment for products and services varies across the Zenotech customers. In addition, as Zenotech increases its sales, it has more default customers due to the lack of screening for credit. Zenotech also uses discounts to provide customers an incentive to pay early on their accounts. Currently, it is offering 1.5%/30 or net 60 days on all accounts.
