Profitable, but short of cash

Prints the prompt and every part you have revealed so far.

The prompt

A distributor in Mumbai made a net profit of INR 60 lakh this year, with depreciation of INR 20 lakh. Its customers now pay much later: receivables rose from INR 100 lakh to INR 300 lakh. It also holds more stock: inventory rose from INR 50 lakh to INR 120 lakh. What happened to its cash from operations?

Practice with a partner

1. Send the interviewer link to a friend. They read the case aloud and hold the answers.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
