I’m a bit confused; I thought call loans were for meeting operating expenses, but that doesn't seem right now.

The Deming cycle is definitely focused on improvement, so I'm leaning towards option A. But I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a few options presented, and I'm not sure which one would be the best recommendation. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each approach.
