Dicussion Question
An exporter buys goods from a local supplier. The local supplier demands cash in advance for the
payment terms. The exporter sells the goods to a foreign buyer (importer) on an open account of 90
days from bill of lading date because the exporter has to grant extended sales terms to offer
competitive payment terms.
It takes three months for the manufacture of the goods, and the exporter thus takes delivery of the
goods after three months from the payment to the local supplier. Then, the exporter ships the goods
and sends the shipping documents to the importer. The importer pays three months after shipment.
Dicussion the difficulties in working capital management the exporter might face. If possible,
provide some solutions.
