Wait, how did they keep getting inventory during a strike?

I feel like the just-in-time system could reduce inventory costs, but I'm uncertain how it directly relates to the working capital ratios in this case.

I practiced a similar question about credit control and how it affects receivables. A new credit controller could definitely lead to better cash flow.

I think the strike could impact operations, but if deliveries are still coming in, it might not affect working capital as much as other options.

I remember discussing how taking discounts from suppliers could improve cash flow, but I'm not sure if that's the main reason for the changes here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Internet gateways are used to connect a VPC to the internet, but I can't quite remember the specifics around how many can be defined. I'll have to think this through.

I'm feeling a bit lost on this one. The wording of the answers is tripping me up. Maybe I'll come back to it and try a different question first.

Okay, let's see. I'm leaning towards Metrics in Application Gateway, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I'll review the options one more time before answering.

The new credit controller must be a superhero or something. Imagine the power of their collections prowess! They could probably collect debt from a black hole.

Taking discounts from suppliers is a smart move, but I don't think it alone would account for such drastic changes in the ratios. The credit controller's efforts seem to be the key factor here.

Implementing a just-in-time system could also have contributed to the changes in the working capital ratios.

The workforce strike might have affected the ratios, but it seems like the credit controller's role is more influential.

I'm not sure about the strike situation. Even if deliveries were still received, the workforce being on strike for a month would likely have some impact on the working capital ratios.

Just-in-time inventory management could also be a valid explanation. It helps reduce the amount of cash tied up in inventory, which would boost the working capital ratios.

The new credit controller's rigorous collection procedure seems like the most likely reason for the improved working capital ratios. It's impressive how they were able to collect receivables more efficiently.
