Explain how offering discounts for early payment may improve a business’s cash flow and reduce working capital.
Discounts for early payments is a strategy that allows businesses to increase their cash flow in the short term. This leads to the business accessing funds faster than if it were to wait for a full payment by the original due date. This strategy will not improve the current ratio because the current assets will decrease by the discount offered. The discount offered will reduce the revenue collected and will reduce the current cash available for working capital.

A customer has brought in a vehicle, claiming its engine is overheating. During testing, no external coolant leaks could be found. Explain possible causes of the engine overheating.
The thermostat regulates coolant flow through the radiator. If the thermostat was stuck closed, then there would be insufficient coolant flow through the radiator to cool the engine. Another cause of overheating may be a faulty engine cooling fan. If the fan is belt-driven a slipping fan belt would not allow the fan to cool the radiator. A faulty viscous coupling or electric fan would also not cool the radiator causing overheating. A blown head gasket may be another cause of engine overheating. Combustion gases entering the cooling system would cause the engine to overheat due to their high temperatures.
