Profitable, but short of cash
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?
